Security officers who seized a car belonging to Mr James Agyenim-Boateng, former aide to former Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur, have released it back to him after satisfying themselves that it was not a stolen asset as previously suspected.
The car was seized in early February in the heat of a hunt for stolen state assets.
Confirming the return of the car, Mr Agyenim-Boateng wrote on his Facebook wall that: “Government-sponsored ‘thugs’, who go about seizing vehicles unlawfully, got eggs on their faces again today and embarrassed their bosses one more time.”
“After investigations (and the police were very professional), the police handed over my vehicle back to me, noting that their investigations established that the said vehicle did NOT belong to the State.
“This is not the first time that the government and its car-snatching gang are suffering an embarrassment. They were disgraced in the case of Mr Kofi Adams, Fame Derek Djisam and another one involving a Member of Parliament, among others,” he wrote.
He said despite the so-called missing state vehicles saga and the unlawful seizure of privately-owned vehicles by the “thugs”, the government has yet to show one example where they seized a car and it, indeed, belonged to the State.
