    According to reports, the Special Prosecutor has detained Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, the CEO of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP).

    On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Nkansah, a candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries in Asante Akyem Central, was taken into custody.

    This relates to the money given to delegates at the Christmas celebrations in advance of the January 27 primary elections.

    Felix Amakye, a Constituency Secretary, claimed on Asempa FM Ekosii Sen that Kwame Anyimadu Antwi, the current MP, had reported the case to the Special Prosecutor.

    In order to help with ongoing investigations, Mr. Nkansah was taken into custody and then brought to his office in Accra, according to Mr. Amakye.

    “We were looking forward to this day because Kofi told us the MP threatened to report him to the OSP. So he honoured an invitation from the OSP at 2:pm and we accompanied him.

    “He spent over 3 hours and they moved to the NEIP office where all the workers were asked to leave the offices,” he stated.

    Strong advocate for Mr. Nkansah, Mr. Amakye continued, “the arrest is a purposeful attempt to frustrate him as Mr. Antwi’s primary contender in the primaries.”

    He asserted that Mr. Anyimadu cannot understand why he will report his opponent and that he also shared funds for some delegates, including constituency executives.

    He claims the MP is aware of the situation in which there is apathy in the area and the NPP may lose the seat.

    “Anyimadu knows he cannot win the seat again after 16 years and the only option is to embark on rough tactics like this. We have solidly supported his candidature all these years but there is the need for a new face,” he added.

    Meanwhile, Mr. Anyimadu-Antwi, however, refuted the charge, claiming he was unaware of the arrest.

    Felix Amakye was accused by Mr. Anyimadu-Antwi of spreading false information and favoring one candidate over another in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu.

    He stated that Felix Amakye had previously claimed on Facebook that his favorite candidate was paying delegates money, and he denied any involvement in reporting anyone to the OSP.
