Mr. Josh Nimakoe, a close friend of the running mate of the New Patriotic (NPP), Dr Mohamadu Bawumia, has abused the allegation that Dr Bawumia has been arrested by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and detained in the Tamale Police Station on suspicion that his vehicle contained weapons.

The banker is said to have been detained at the airport for an hour while his vehicle was driven away for a thorough search by a team of military men at the airport.

But he said Dr Bawumia’s movement was only restricted for about twenty-minutes (20 minutes) at the airport for questioning, when they were about to board a plane to Tamale.

Mr. Nimakoe who was speaking on Peace FM, said the restriction had to do with searching and questioning him about the car he was using, to find out whether it was a government car. He also confirmed that Dr Bawumia is currently safe in Walewale where he will spend the week end with his family.

When inquired whether a case have been reported to his out fit, the Northern Regional Police Commander, DCOP Ofosu Gyeabuo said, so far no information concerning Dr Bawumia has been reported to him, and his administration has also not ordered anyone to arrest Dr Bawumia.
