The suspect, Kwame Gyebi was reported to the police after witnesses heard him allegedly made that comment at a drinking bar at Dzorwulu, in Accra.
“People who overheard him reported him to the Airport Police who later handed him over to us.
He occasionally referred to the President as “John” while speaking,” a source at the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), has told Graphic.com.gh.

The BNI has subsequently launched investigations into the reason behind the man's statement.
“We are also running a few security checks because of the security implications of the suspect’s statement.
We cannot take anything for granted,” the BNI source added.
