Mensah Thompson, Executive Director of ASEPA has reportedly being detained by the at the Teshie District Police Command.

According to reports, he was immediately arrested and detained after honouring an invitation by the police.

Mensah Thompson had authored a Facebook post alleging that children of a relative of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had used the presidential jet on a 10-day shopping trip to the United Kingdom.

He however, came back to apologise for the claim, admitting it was untrue.

The Ghana Armed Forces in a statement reacting to the issue described the allegation as “untrue, frivolous and without any basis.”

“We additionally wish to state that the said aircraft has not been to Europe for a very long time and this publication is, therefore, a figment of the author’s imagination. The allegations can easily be verified since there is always a task order for the movement of the Ghana Air Force platforms,” the statement added.
