The UK Financial Intelligence Unit and the Border Agency are reported to have refuted claims suggesting that £15 million has been seized from an individual from Ghana.

Earlier, Vice President of IMANI Africa, Bright Simons, revealed that it is rumoured that a Ghanaian bigshot was battling with British Airport customs over some millions being moved through the UK without the necessary paperwork.

Following this, a prominent member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) was said to have been arrested in the UK with £15 million confiscated from him.

Now, Citi FM reports that both agencies say they have no record of such an amount being impounded from any Ghanaian.
