Former Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) CEO Solomon Asamoah has disputed claims by Attorney General Dr. Dominic Ayine, stating he didn’t flee to Senegal to evade justice.
Asamoah released a statement on March 24, 2025, describing Dr. Ayine’s allegations as “entirely inaccurate and untrue.” He emphasized his commitment to transparency and cooperation with authorities.
According to Asamoah, he left Ghana on March 21, 2025, for scheduled board meetings abroad, which were planned in advance.
He clarified that no government official contacted him regarding any investigation before his departure.
Asamoah explained, “In fact, I traveled out of Ghana on Friday 21st March 2025 to attend scheduled board meetings as part of a corporate responsibility that was planned well in advance. Prior to my departure I have been present in Ghana for long periods in both February and March. During this period, I was never contacted by any government official in relation to an invitation to assist in any investigation.”
He further revealed that he was contacted by the National Intelligence Bureau via WhatsApp on March 22, 2025, requesting an online meeting. Asamoah stated, “However, on Saturday, 22nd March 2025, a day after departure from Accra, I was indeed contacted via whatsapp by an official of the National Intelligence Bureau who requested an online meeting with me which we agreed to hold on Wednesday 26th March at 4 pm. This would enable me to respond to any misconceptions and misunderstandings on any substantive matter related to investments by GIIF.”
