Ghana’s Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) has arrested three South Africans for allegedly engaging in illegal training.
The three, who are all former Police officers, include 54-year-old Major Ahmed Shaik Hazis (Rtd.), 39-year–old WO/ Denver Dwayhe Naidu (Rtd.) and 45-year-old Captain Mlungiseleli Jokani (Rtd.).
They were arrested on Sunday March 20, 2016 at the El Capitano Hotel in Agona Duakwa in the Central Region, officials say.
Officials add that they were arrested while training fifteen people in various military drills, including unarmed combat, weapon handling, VIP protection techniques and rapid response maneuvers. The exercise was under the pretext that they were being trained for Delta Force Security, which is owned by Capt Kwesi Acquah (Rtd), who also owns the El-Capitano Hotel.
The three entered the country weeks ago on business visas, it’s been suggested.
Leader of the three, Hazis has told officials that they were brought into the country by one Capt. Koda, who is head of security detail for NPP flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo. Hazis was part of Akufo-Addo’s security detail during the 2012 elections, it’s been suggested as well.
“The said training raises security issues given the heightened security awareness in the country following some terrorist attacks in the sub-region.
“Strangely, however, when the Police and BNI operatives went to the hotel to ascertain their mission they were refused entry by the trainees. However, the security operatives finally entered the place and conducted a search on them. Surprisingly, a comprehensive report on the operations of Superlock Technologies Ltd (STL) was found in the possession of Hazis. The document contained a detailed profile of all the workers of STL, past and present and went on to identify key staff members, giving an assessment of their strengths and vulnerabilities with the view to possibly compromising them so as to get them commit acts that will tend to favour a particular party in the 2016 elections, using the STL security infrastructure. Images of all workers of STL were also contained in the document,” the BNI has said.
