Selormey Arrested At KIA

A Former Deputy Finance Minister, Victor Selormey was last night arrested at the Kotoka International Airport by the Police.

He was arrested at about eight O’clock on his arrival from London on a British Airways flight.

A scuffle ensued when former Deputy Attorney-General Martin Amidu who was incidentally at the airport questioned the rationale for Mr. Selormey’s arrest. Mr. Selormey’s arrest is believed to be in connection with police investigations into the mystery surrounding the allocation of $ 2 Million from the Chinese Exim Bank to a non-existing company.

Some observers who witnessed the scene at the airport questioned the mode of arrest.

Late last month, the police issued a statement asking Mr. Selormey, former Trade Minister Dan Abodakpi and three others to co-operate in investigations into alleged transfer of huge sums to a foreign consultant and payments to a non-existing company.

Mr. Selormey who was out of the country at the time, was asked to contact the police on his return.
