National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for La-Dadekotopon, Nii Amasah Namoale has spoken on the controversial issue of the alleged arrest of the party’s Central Regional Chairman Allotey Jacobs during his recent visit abroad.
A member of New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Communications team, Hopeson Adorye who first published the alleged incident on his Facebook page insisted the NDC bigwig was momentarily arrested and questioned over a case of money laundering while boarding a flight to the UK.
Adorye claimed an account of his friend who was on board the same British airline flight 078 suggested that at Heathrow Airport, UK Security officials approached Jacobs on the flight – questioned him over money laundering issues and for a few minutes walked him out of the craft.
But Allotey vehemently denied the reports, insisting he did not have any issues with UK officials on his trip.
However Nii Amasa Namoale who met with Allotey Jacobs while abroad has confirmed that the latter was held up by officials at the Heathrow Airport albeit briefly.
