BNI picks up Akufo-Addo's security officer jogging by Flagstaff House
The Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has
picked up a member of NPP Presidential candidate
Akufo-Addo's security detail and one other
supporter while they were jogging by the Flagstaff
House in Accra.

The incident happened last Sunday morning at about
8am, New Patriotic Party member John Kumah told
myjoyonline.com, after he was granted access to
the two on Tuesday.

He said Jalil Bawa, a former police officer and a
member of the security team and Alhassan Abubakar
who is in his late 20s.
The two who live in Nima, a community in Accra,
were jogging by the seat of government when
Abubakar's keys fell into the sand.

They stopped to retrieve the key and continued the
exercise. But about 50 meters away, two security
officials accosted them and accused them of
planting something in the ground.

Despite their explanations, the security officials
walked them back to the spot where the key fell
and asked that the dig around the area to be
ensure they had not planted 'juju'.

"There was nothing there" John Kumah explained. He
said one of the security officers identifed Bawa
as a former police officer who left the service
and joined the NPP security team.

The new fact completely changed the dynamics of
the investigations. Several security officers
poured out of the Flagstaff House and the two were
led inside.
They were later taken to BNI cells. Their families
had been searching for them until checks revealed
they had been picked up.

No charges have been levelled yet and according to
John Kumah, the two cannot be granted bail until
their 'busy' superiors are available for office
work.
