Bright Mensah Bonsu, the man at the centre of a controversial sale of a diplomatic property belonging to Ghana's High Commission in Nigeria, has been arrested by Ghanaian security authorities.
Mensah Bonsu, reportedly a special aide to the late Alhaji Rashid Bawa, Ghana's former High Commissioner to Nigeria under the Akufo-Addo administration, is alleged to have received $1.5 million in cash and signed documents to sell the property.
The arrest comes amid growing scrutiny over the transaction, which has sparked public outcry and calls for accountability.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, April 15, Ghana's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, disclosed that the $1.5 million payment was never deposited into any official government account.
