The former Chairman of the Public Procurement Authority Board, Prof Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, has been released from detention by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB).
This development comes after he was detained in connection with an investigation into financial matters during his tenure as the Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructural Investment Fund (GIIF).
The legal council of Prof Ameyaw-Akumfi, Ken Kuranchie confirmed the release.
According to 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.
