The former Chairman of the Public Procurement Authority board, Prof Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, has been taken into custody by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) at Kawukudi, near Nima in the Greater Accra Region. 

The circumstances surrounding his detention remain unclear at this time.

Prof Ameyaw-Akumfi, who previously served as Minister of Education, was reportedly apprehended by NIB officials, but no official statement has been released regarding the reasons for his arrest. 

In response to the situation, his legal team has swiftly moved into action to secure his release. 

Lawyers representing the professor are currently engaging with NIB authorities to understand the basis of his detention and to advocate for his rights.

Members of his legal team are stationed at the NIB offices in Kawukudi, actively negotiating for bail. 

Their efforts are focused on ensuring that the former minister is granted bail while any necessary legal processes are followed.
