Prof Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, former Chairman of the Public Procurement Authority Board and former Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructural Investment Fund (GIIF), is currently under investigation by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) for financial matters related to his tenure at GIIF.

According to his lawyer, Ken Kuranchie, Prof Ameyaw-Akumfi was at his home Sunday morning when a group of men in three pickups arrived and informed him that he was needed at the NIB.

He voluntarily followed them to the NIB head office and was subsequently taken to the NIB offices in Kawukudi, Accra.

Kuranchie stated that the investigation pertains to financial matters during Prof Ameyaw-Akumfi’s time as the board chairman at GIIF, involving certain approvals made at that time.

“The interrogation has concluded, and the NIB has informed them that Prof Ameyaw-Akumfi will be kept in custody until tomorrow [Monday]. However, there may be further developments later in the evening, and his legal team remains on-site, awaiting any updates.

“We are still here, hanging around, waiting to see whether anything else can be done. He’s not been transported from here to where he will be sleeping overnight. So we are inside here waiting to see what will happen before we leave,” Kuranchie told Citi News’ Samuel Ackom.
