The National Investigation Bureau (NIB) has detained Ghanaian priest Rev. Kusi Boateng for questioning on suspicions of identity fraud. According to reports, authorities apprehended him in connection with an ongoing investigation into financial misconduct related to the National Cathedral’s construction.
The controversy first came to light in 2023 when Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the current Foreign Affairs Minister and North Tongu MP, accused him of using multiple identities tor questionable purposes.
“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 stated in a Facebook post.
He also alleged that Rev. Kusi Boateng, operating under the name Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, received GH$2.6 million through JNS Talent Centre Ltd as part of the National Cathedral project.
Ablakwa insists that both names belonged to the same person, backing his claim with documents.
Despite these accusations, Rev. Kusi Boateng has continued to serve on the National Cathedral’s Executive Council.
In July 2024, his attempt to block Ablakwa from discussing his alleged involvement in the project was dismissed by the Human Rights Court.
While the full details of the case remain unclear, sources indicate that the investigation is focused on his alleged use of multiple identities and financial transactions linked to the National Cathedral.
His detention by the NIB has caused widespread debate, with many wondering about the consequences for both his ministry and public office affiliations.
Sections of Ghanaians are urging President Mahama to act immediately to arrest individuals linked in the National Cathedral issue.
Others also advise him not to play cards with them, despite his public efforts to hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.
