I Ordered Arrest Of Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi – Attorney General

Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has confirmed that he authorized the arrest of former Public Procurement Authority (PPA) Board Chairman, Prof. Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi.

Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi was taken into custody by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) on February 23, 2025, at Kawukudi, near Nima in the Greater Accra Region. He is currently under investigation for financial matters related to his tenure as Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructural Investment Fund (GIIF).

According to his lawyer, Ken Kuranchie, a group of men in three pickups arrived at Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi’s residence on the day of his arrest and informed him that he was needed at the NIB. He voluntarily accompanied them to the NIB head office before being transferred to the agency’s Kawukudi offices in Accra.

When questioned about the arrest during a media interview on Monday, March 3, 2025, Dr. Ayine confirmed his involvement, stating, “Yes, I did.”

Providing further details, he added, “Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi was arrested and questioned, and he did admit that the $2 million was paid for no work done.”

“We’re still investigating the circumstances of the payment and those who were involved,” Dr. Ayine stated.
