Africa-Press – Ghana. The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority Caucus in Parliament has expressed outrage over the alleged abduction of Mr Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, a former Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB).
The Caucus describes the actions as “unacceptable” and an “abuse of power.”
A statement issued by Mr Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Minority Chief Whip, to the Ghana News Agency on Wednesday, said Mr Nkansah was earlier invited by the NIB on Thursday, February 5, 2026, to assist with investigations into an allegation he made on Sompa Radio 106.5 but was asked to go home without being charged.
“However, on Monday, February 9, 2026, he was again invited by the NIB while in Kumasi visiting his seriously ill father and was subsequently taken to his house by heavily armed NIB agents to conduct a search, after which he was taken back to the NIB office,” the statement said.
It noted that the Minority Caucus was concerned that Mr Nkansah’s rights had allegedly been infringed upon and that the actions of the NIB were “politically targeted and willfully carried out to cower people who speak out on matters at variance with the activities of the government of the day.”
“The real essence of governance is to serve the interests of the people. The protracted concerns confronting Ghanaians are the payment of cocoa farmers, unemployment, and the rising cost of living,” it said.
The statement noted that the action of the NIB on the alleged directive of the government was an unfortunate diversion from the economic realities confronting the ordinary Ghanaian.
It had therefore called for the immediate release of Mr Nkansah and for further investigations to be carried out in a civil and dignified manner.
