Breaking: Rev Victor Kusi Boateng apprehended in dual identity scandal: A comprehensive probe unfolds under BNI watch

Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, alias Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, has been apprehended by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) amidst a comprehensive probe into allegations of perpetrating multiple identities. The contentious saga surrounding Rev. Kusi Boateng commenced in 2023 when North Tongu MP and current Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa unveiled startling accusations in an exposé.

Ablakwa posited that Rev. Kusi Boateng, Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral, possessed multiple passports bearing disparate names. Ablakwa corroborated his claims, stating, “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.”

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

According to Ablakwa, documents in his possession confirmed that Kwabena Adu Gyamfi and Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng were, in fact, the same individual.

Despite these allegations, Rev. Kusi Boateng has continued to serve as an Executive Council Member/Director of the National Cathedral Board. In a related development, the Human Rights Court dismissed an application filed by Rev. Kusi Boateng on July 13, 2024, which sought to prevent MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa from making public statements about his involvement in the National Cathedral affairs.

Although the specific charges against Rev. Kusi Boateng remain undisclosed, sources suggest that the investigation is focused on his alleged dual identity.
