  "summary": "Former NSA Director General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah's lawyer, Jerry Avenorgbor, has declared his client innocent of visa fraud allegations connected to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Ampofo Ankrah was removed from his position by then-President John Dramani Mahama amid an ongoing investigation. Avenorgbor revealed that his client has fully cooperated with the police throughout the past four weeks, providing them with extensive information that is now assisting the prosecution. The lawyer emphasized that Ampofo Ankrah has not engaged in any activities to collect money for securing visas for individuals, regardless of the currency. As the investigation continues, Avenorgbor's statement underscores the innocence of his client in the visa scandal.",
