Two bail bids have been rejected as the Asante Akyem North MP faces an extradition hearing. The Majority Chief Whip and South Dayi MP, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, informed listeners on Citi FM that attempts to secure bail for Ohene Kwame Frimpong have failed in the Netherlands. Frimpong remains in custody in Amsterdam, with his extradition hearing set for November 18, 2026.
Both a substantive bail application and an appeal were unsuccessful. Frimpong was arrested at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam in May 2026 after traveling from Ghana. Allegations of romance scams and money laundering have been linked to his detention. Parliament is preparing for the substantive extradition hearing in November and is working to obtain official documents related to Frimpong's arrest and detention.
