National Security operatives, alongside personnel from the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana Armed Forces, have reportedly apprehended Nigerian businessman Ben Peters at the Aurora Apartments in Kanda, near the Jubilee House.

According to reports, the operation, which led to Peters' arrest, was carried out under the leadership of the Director in Charge of Special Operations at the National Security Secretariat, Richard Jakpa, and the Deputy Director of Operations at the Office of the President, Mustapha Gbande.

The arrest followed complaints that Peters had blocked the entrance to the apartment complex with his vehicles, in collusion with armed men, preventing other residents from accessing the premises.

In addition to arresting Peters and his associates, the security forces seized his vehicles.

Mustapha Gbande, speaking at the scene, condemned Peters' actions, "He has blocked the place such that no individual can go in or come out. Nobody can come into our country and take our people into this ransom. It is illegal and unlawful. This cannot be done in Nigeria and certainly not in this country."

The report also revealed that Peters resisted arrest and attempted to flee, but was eventually captured after Ghanaian businessman Ibrahim Mahama, the brother of former President John Dramani Mahama, arrived at the scene and intervened.
