The former appointee was reportedly taken in for questioning in connection with the $2 million Sky Train Project.
His arrest was part of ongoing investigations into the failed Sky Train initiative, Sources told Citi News.
The project, which had $2 million allegedly committed to it, was revealed to have not met its objectives as confirmed by Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, during a recent press briefing on Monday, March 24.
Dr. Ayine has since disclosed that prosecutions related to the Sky Train scandal would begin by mid-April 2025.
He has also assured the public that suspects are cooperating with investigators, and justice will be served, with efforts to recover misappropriated public funds from those implicated.
