"I have made myself available to the police and to the security agencies on several occasions.
"Anytime they wanted me, I went there, we had a discussion and then I came home," he noted.
According to Papavi, "I have, on two occasions, written to the government of Ghana and the President to have us sit down and have this matter discussed at a round table conference. No attention has been paid to the letter.
"Ghana should intensify its level of investigations against people who do things and not just suspect and arrest people."
