The three, 54-year-old Major Ahmed Shaik Hazis (Rtd.), 39-year–old WO/ Denver Dwayhe Naidu (Rtd.) and 45-year-old Captain Mlungiseleli Jokani (Rtd.) were arrested on Sunday March 20, 2016 at El Capitano Hotel in Agona Duakwa in the Central Region.

A Bureau of National Investigations document said “The trio, all ex-police officers were engaged in training fifteen young men in various military drills, including unarmed combat, weapon handling, VIP protection techniques and rapid response maneuvers.”

They are all expected to be arraigned on Thursday.

Officials of the South African High Commission have also concluded their first round of investigations of the three South African police officers.

Meanwhile, the three ex-Police officers are still in BNI custody undergoing interrogation.

The NPP has subsequently condemned the BNI's continued detention of the three ex-police officers for questioning.

The party had argued that the three were only in Ghana to train security guards for the New Patriotic Party’s presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, and his running mate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and that they posed no threat.
