The National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) has reportedly apprehended the personal aide to Bugri Naabu, the former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Mr Naabu told Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM that his personal aide whom he called S.K, and his receptionist, identified only as Akua, left their homes for work as usual Thursday morning.

The two were however, not at the office upon his arrival. He said he became alarmed and tried to reach them, only to receive information later that both SK and Akua had been taken to the NIB office.

"I learnt they came with a white car and police people, men well-armed, pushed them in and took them away," he said.

The NPP stalwart said, "I don't know their whereabouts but I am getting information that they are in BNI (sic), Kawukudi Junction."

Bugri Naabu expressed his intention to visit the NIB office along with his lawyers to ascertain the reason behind the arrest.

"So I am appealing to you the journalists, and I am getting some lawyers also to join them to find out what is happening," he added.

The arrest, he believes, is linked to the leaked audio in which voices are heard conspiring against the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.
