NIB summons Abronye over claim Mahama gov’t ‘stole’ ?550M for dismissed appointees

The National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) has summoned the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC.

This follows his claims that the government, led by President John Mahama, had “stolen” over five hundred and fifty million Ghana cedis intended for dismissed recruits and appointees.

In an interview on Movement TV, sighted by Pulse News, Abronye DC alleged that the revocation of appointments made after 7th December 2024 was part of a scheme to misappropriate the funds, stating that financial clearance had already been issued for the recruitment.

He further claimed that the amount was released by the Bank of Ghana and transported in a bullion van to the Jubilee House.
