BNI detains man for alleged offensive comment against Mahama
The Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) is
reportedly holding a Ghanaian-Lebanese pilot and
author for making offensive statements against
President John Mahama.

Fadi Dabboussie was arrested around midday on
Friday upon arrival from an Egypt Air flight from
Lebanon.

He was picked up from the Kotoka International
Airport (KIA) and driven to the Bureau of National
Investigation (BNI) headquarters in Accra.

This was on the invitation of the Director of BNI,
Yaw Donkor according to Mr. Dabboussie's lawyer,
Hassan Tampuli.

“I have been to the office of the BNI and I was
denied access to him. I was told the officer
responsible for the case was not in the office and
that I can only have access to him on Monday,”
Mr Tampuli told Joy News.

Mr Dabboussie is believed to be a sympathizer of
the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He is also the author of a book titled ‘59 years
of Ghana to Nowhere: The future is Now,’ a book
said to critical of President Mahama.

The story first broke on social media, where it
was claimed that Mr. Dabboussi’s house has been
ransacked and all copies of his books taken.

Some opposition NPP sympathizers and human rights
activists have condemned the act on social media.
