NPP’s Adenta Kumi released from NIB custody – Nsemkeka
Alfred Ababio Kumi, also known as Adenta Kumi, has been released.
He was been sighted in photos exchanging pleasantries with Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, moments ago.
Mr Kumi was arrested by NIB operatives on Friday, an arrest the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially condemned and accused the NDC government of intimidating opposition elements.
His lawyer, Clement Opoku Gyamfi indicated that stated that his client has been charged with publication of false news by the Bureau.
The arrest this morning after he submitted a petition to President John Mahama, calling for the dissolution of a committee investigating the removal of the Chief Justice.
Mr Kumi, a former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary aspirant in Adentan, alleged misconduct on the part of the committee members that, he claimed, could compromise the credibility of their inquiry.
In his petition, Kumi accused Justices Pwamang, Adibu-Asiedu, and Supreme Court Justice Yonni Kulendi of meeting with Thaddeus Sory—legal counsel for the petitioner Daniel Ofori—at Santoku Restaurant in Accra’s Airport Residential Area after the committee’s first hearing on May 15, 2025.
Kumi claims the judges were overheard discussing issues related to the petition during the dinner.
A video of the supposed meeting has since gone viral online with many questioning the credibility of the content.
Meanwhile, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has claimed that the wife of Alfred Ababio Kumi suffered a miscarriage following a dramatic dawn raid by state security operatives during his arrest.
