According to Professor Ken Attafuah, the Executive Director of the NIA, they don’t have any records of the pastor with the name Kusi Boateng in their database.

The response is to a request made by NDC Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa on the dual identities of Rev. Kusi Boateng.

In a lengthy statement, the NIA described the allegations by the MP as baseless, without merit and called on Ghanaians to completely ignore the allegations.

According to the NIA, there is no record of Rev. Kusi Boateng in its database as claimed by Mr Ablakwa.
