Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, has alleged that he was harassed during the tenure of former President 's administration.
According to Gbande, the former president used the National Investigation Bureau (NIB) to harass him several times.
Speaking in an interview on GHOne TV on April 11, 2025, which was shared on social media, Gbande recounted warning the former NIB boss, Nana Attobrah Quaicoe, to ensure their paths did not cross on bad terms due to the alleged harassment. "A month before the elections, they tried all possible means, including spiritual efforts, but they didn't succeed.
They tried to use the NIB and GRA to frustrate me, but it didn't work," he said.
