The initiator of one of the country’s most controversial award scheme, Kwame owusu Fordjour has reportedly been arrested.
Dr UN as he is popularly known was picked up at his premises of the kumasi-based radio station HELLO FM by national security operatives after an interview on Friday.
Mr Fordjour is the organiser for the infamous group Global Blueprint Excellence Awards, which has been described by many as a scam following the revelation that it has no affiliate with the UN as it has touted.
He has been accused of using the United Nations and formal UN Secretary – general kofi annan’s name to do the award scheme appear credible, a claim he has fought off vehemently.
A video has however surface the Internet that shows Mr Fordjour has been whisked out of the hello fm by persons believed to be with country security agency while some staff of the station looked on.
The self-style ambassador is seen in an altercation with the security personnel while demanding that he sees an arrest warrant.
One of the persons is heard in the amateur footage telling DR UN to comply with the plain-clothed personnel. He is further seen ranting as he is guided into the salon car of the personnel.
sources say DR UN was arrested in 2018 for a similar event held in the Ashanti region which has been cited as fake, he got arrested and was later granted bail.
In the month that followed sources indicate he failed to show up in court anytime the case was called. An infringement for which the asorkore mampong magistrate court issued a warrant for his arrest.
But the latest incident which sparked an uproar among Ghanaians seems to have flown in the face of his bail condition.
Mr Fordjour had since been remanded by the asorkore mampong magistrate court for two weeks in custody. Hours after his arrest social media is circulating footage said to be that seemingly hearty DR UN behind bars.
