Alfred Ababio Kumi has been released unconditionally from NIB custody
Alfred Ababio Kumi, popularly known as Adenta Kumi, a former NPP parliamentary aspirant for Adenta, has been released unconditionally by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) on the evening of Friday, May 23, 2025, according to the Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin.
His release follows his arrest by the NIB in the early hours of the same day. He was officially charged with making a false publication.
In a petition, Kumi cited allegations of misconduct that he believes could undermine the integrity of the inquiry being conducted by the Pwamang Committee into the removal of the Chief Justice.
Kumi alleged that on May 15, 2025, after the committee’s inaugural sitting, Justices Pwamang and Adibu-Asiedu, along with Supreme Court Justice Yonni Kulendi, were seen dining with Thaddeus Sory, counsel for petitioner Daniel Ofori, at Santoku Restaurant in Accra’s Airport Residential Area.
He claimed they were overheard discussing matters related to the petition.
However, CCTV footage from the restaurant, which captures the presence of the individuals mentioned, does not appear to fully support Kumi’s claims.
In a video shared by Asaase Radio on social media, Alfred Ababio Kumi is seen in a vehicle with the Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, who confirmed the young politician’s release.
“So, I am with Adenta Kumi. He is a free man. We just picked him up from NIB custody; he has been given an unconditional release. I pray that democracy prevails. This so-called ‘reset,’ where everyone is being frustrated, harassed, and intimidated using state security to attack citizens, must stop. It is unfortunate, but at long last, there is some common sense,” the Minority Leader stated.
