BNI to sue Asamoah Boateng’s wife
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, June 15, Ghanadot - The
Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has threatened
Zuleka Lorwia, wife of former Information Minister Stephen
Asamoah Boateng to take legal action against her for
hampering justice.
According to them Mrs. Asamoah Boateng’s attitude towards
some national security operatives was inappropriate.
Deputy Information Minister, Samuel Okudzeto-Ablakwa
speaking on Joy FM, said Mrs. Asamoah Boateng could have
been allowed to board the flight if not for her unruly
behaviour.
He said the action of the former minister's wife amounted to
an obstruction of justice; a behaviour he said is
actionable.
Over the weekend, two officials from the BNI stopped Mr.
Asamoah Boateng and his family, who were due to board a
British Airways flight at the Kotoka International Airport,
to the United States of America
Reason for the prevention was that Mr. Asamoah Boateng was
prevented from proceeding on his journey because he is
needed to answer some questions relating to the award of a
contract for the renovation of the Information Ministry
building.
Mrs. Asamoah Boateng enraged by the action of the national
security operatives engaged them in a brawl.
Meanwhile Mr. Asamoah Boateng has denied suggestions that he
was running away from justice, saying his visit to the U.S
is a brief one and has nothing
to do with running away.
But Zuleka Lorwia has denied obstructing justice and that as
far as she is concerned the men who took custody of her
husband’s passport were not BNI operatives since there was
no evidence to that effect.
She said the action was to protect her family from a group
of unknown men who decided to obstruct them from travelling
without any explanations, adding that the incident has left
her injured and her children traumatized.
