Fresh details are surfacing after the arrest of Asante Akyem North Member of Parliament, Kwame Ohene Frimpong, who was picked up at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam.
A viral video circulating online shows the MP, also known as OK Frimpong, speaking publicly for the first time since the incident. The footage was played on a show hosted by Ghanaian media personality and musician Blakk Rasta, who shared excerpts of a conversation he had with the legislator.
In the recording, OK Frimpong pushed back strongly against claims tying his arrest to an alleged romance scam. He maintained that the information he received from Interpol before his detention pointed only to money laundering allegations, dismissing the romance fraud reports as inaccurate.
He further rejected suggestions linking him to large-scale financial crimes, including claims involving $100 million and $35 million laundering schemes.
“When I was picked up, the only thing they told me was that I was being arrested for money laundering and nothing else. I have heard a lot of reports that I was involved in a $32 million money laundering scheme, but I won’t say anything,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has disclosed that the MP’s legal team in Amsterdam has now been granted access to the arrest warrant, which is said to have been issued on April 26, 2026.
“The lawyers are just informing me that they have seen the warrant, and it was issued on April 26. So, even as a sovereign nation, I doubt whether we were informed in any way,” he stated.
