Rev. Kusi Boateng arrested by NIB

Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, also known as Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, has been detained by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of possessing multiple identities.

The controversy surrounding Rev. Kusi Boateng emerged in 2023 when North Tongu MP, now Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, alleged in an exposé that the Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral held multiple passports under different names.

“From unassailable and irreproachable documents in my possession, Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng, AKA Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, uses multiple passports and multiple identification cards with different names and different dates of birth as his special modus operandi,” Ablakwa stated in a Facebook post.

Ablakwa further claimed that JNS Talent Centre Ltd, a company owned by Rev. Kusi Boateng, received GH¢2.6 million for the National Cathedral project under the pseudonym Kwabena Adu Gyamfi.

According to him, documents in his possession confirmed that Kwabena Adu Gyamfi and Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng were the same individual. Despite these allegations, Boateng continues to serve as an Executive Council Member/Director of the National Cathedral Board.

On July 13, 2024, the Human Rights Court dismissed an application filed by Rev. Kusi Boateng, which sought to prevent MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa from making public statements about his involvement in the National Cathedral affairs.

While the specific charges against him remain undisclosed, sources suggest that the investigation is focused on his alleged dual identity.
