Kwame Ohene Frimpong, the lawmaker representing Asante Akyem north constituency in the parliament of Ghana, has been detained at the Schipol Airport in the Netherlands.
Frimpong was said to have been arrested over the weekend in
an investigation reportedly linked to the United States Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI).
According to Ghana Web, the investigation is connected to
allegations of money laundering and romance scam in the tune of $32 million.
In a statement on Tuesday, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, the
clerk to parliament of Ghana, confirmed the arrest of Frimpong.
Djietror said the parliament is engaging with Ghana’s
Mission in The Hague to obtain information.
“It has come to the attention of Parliament that, the Hon
Member for Asante Akyem North Constituency, Mr Kwame Ohene Frimpong has been
detained at the Schipol Airport, Amsterdam in the Netherlands,” the statement
reads.
“The Rt Hon Speaker and the Leadership of the House are in
touch with Ghana’s Mission in The Hague for detailed information on the matter.
The public will be duly informed appropriately on this matter.”
In October 2025, Frimpong denied allegations that he was
involved in the scam used to defraud people.
The lawmaker said his name was being used for defraud people
in a travel and visa scheme.
