Amewu released after National Security arrest over Sky Train scandal

Former Minister for Railways Development, John Peter Amewu has been released after his arrest by National Security operatives on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.

The former appointee was reportedly taken in for questioning in connection with the $2 million Sky Train Project.

His arrest was part of ongoing investigations into the failed Sky Train initiative, Sources told Citi News.

The project, which had $2 million allegedly committed to it, was revealed to have not met its objectives as confirmed by Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, during a recent press briefing on Monday, March 24.

Dr. Ayine has since disclosed that prosecutions related to the Sky Train scandal would begin by mid-April 2025.

He has also assured the public that suspects are cooperating with investigators, and justice will be served, with efforts to recover misappropriated public funds from those implicated.
