REV. KUSI BOATENG ARRESTED BY NIB

Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, also known as Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, has been detained by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) as part of an ongoing probe into allegations of possessing multiple identities. The arrest follows a series of controversies surrounding Rev. Boateng, who serves as the Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral.

The allegations against Rev. Kusi Boateng first surfaced in 2023 when Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, then North Tongu MP and now Foreign Affairs Minister, accused him of holding multiple passports and identification cards under different names. In a Facebook post, Ablakwa claimed, “From unassailable and irreproachable documents in my possession, Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng, AKA Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, uses multiple passports and multiple identification cards with different names and different dates of birth as his special modus operandi.”

Ablakwa further alleged that JNS Talent Centre Ltd, a company owned by Rev. Kusi Boateng, received GH¢2.6 million for the National Cathedral project under the pseudonym Kwabena Adu Gyamfi. He asserted that documents confirmed Kwabena Adu Gyamfi and Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng were the same individual.

Despite these allegations, Rev. Kusi Boateng has continued to serve as an Executive Council Member and Director of the National Cathedral Board.

On July 13, 2024, the Human Rights Court dismissed an application filed by Rev. Kusi Boateng seeking to prevent Ablakwa from making public statements about his involvement in the National Cathedral project. The court’s decision paved the way for further scrutiny of the allegations.

While the specific charges against Rev. Kusi Boateng remain undisclosed, sources indicate that the NIB’s investigation is focused on his alleged dual identity and the implications of his actions. The arrest marks a significant development in the case, which has drawn widespread public and media attention.
