Kampala --THE International Police (Interpol) in Ghana have now told their counterparts in Kampala that pastor Obiri Yeboah whose "electric touch" gadget was recently impounded at Entebbe International Airport, is not wanted for any crime in Accra.

Earlier in the week, they had requested Kampala to help them arrest and extradite Yeboah for alleged fraud -- back home in Ghana.


"They have again sent us another report saying, the identity of the person we have and the one they want is different," Police publicist Asan Kasingye told journalists on Friday.

He added: "They told us they wanted Alex Obiri Yeboah, a son of an Inspector of Police in Ghana yet we have Pastor Obiri Yeboah Kojo Nana, the son of the late Prophet John Obiri Yeboah, who lived and preached in Uganda some years ago." Mzee Yeboah died in 1987.


Mr Kasingye said the younger Yeboah was now a free man,who would not be extradited, "unless he commits another offence". He also said: "Although his electric touch machine was impounded, he was not found using it. So there is no offence."
