The Member of Parliament for Asante Akyem North, Ohene Kwame Frimpong, also known as OK Frimpong, remains in custody in Amsterdam after two unsuccessful attempts to secure his release on bail. Majority Chief Whip Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor announced that Mr Frimpong is still in the Dutch legal system awaiting an extradition hearing scheduled for November 18, 2026.
On November 3, 2026, Dafeamekpor disclosed that the legal team is still pursuing the case in the Netherlands and appealed to the public to pray for a favorable outcome for Mr Frimpong. He also dismissed rumors that Mr Frimpong had already been transferred to the United States, stating that the MP is still going through the judicial process in the Netherlands.
OK Frimpong was arrested at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on May 10, 2026, after arriving from Ghana and was detained due to allegations of romance scams, money laundering, and other financial crimes in the United States. The extradition hearing is expected to determine whether Mr Frimpong should be extradited to the United States.
