On Sunday, reports suggested that Allotey Jacobs was arrested on suspected money laundering. Although the British High Commissioner to Ghana, Jon Benjamin, has denied the reports, Adorye, who was one of the people to have posted the alleged arrest on Facebook insists that the report is true.
“I stand by it that he was arrested. They questioned him and escorted him out of the plane. If the police questions you and escorts you out, what does it mean? Does it not amount to arrest?” he queried.
According to Mr Adorye, he was reliably informed by a friend who was on the same flight.

“One of my friends was on that flight to US and was transiting from UK like Allotey. When they got to Heathrow, four police personnel entered the aircraft, walked straight to Allotey Jacobs and asked him how much he was carrying. Allotey then answered that the amount was for a government project but the police said he said the same thing the last time. They questioned him for three to five minutes and escorted him out. If he was later released, what happened on the flight was that, Allotey was questioned and escorted out which amounts to arrest and it was on money laundering,” he noted.
Meanwhile, Allotey Jacobs has stated that he was neither approached by the police nor missed his flight. He mentioned that the story was fabricated.
“This is very serious. You can sit and manufacture a story like this? That’s a big lie. I didn’t change my flight. If he wants to damage me, he doesn’t know who he is messing up with… British High Commissioner says it’s not true, yet you defend such a story? This is serious. No police questioned me. I didn’t even see a police personnel,” he said on the same platform.
