Alfred Ababio Kumi, also known as Adenta Kumi, has been released from the custody of the National Investigations Bureau (NIB).
He was sighted in photos exchanging pleasantries with Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin on Friday night.
Mr Kumi was arrested by NIB operatives on Friday, days after he petitioned President John Mahama to dissolve the 5-member committee set-up to investigate allegations against now suspended Chief Justice, Gertrude Araba Esaaba Torkonoo.
Mr Kumi, a former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary aspirant in Adentan, alleged misconduct on the part of the committee members that, he claimed, could compromise the credibility of their inquiry.
In his petition, Kumi accused Justices Pwamang, Adibu-Asiedu, and Supreme Court Justice Yonni Kulendi of meeting with Thaddeus Sory, legal counsel for the petitioner Daniel Ofori at Santoku Restaurant in Accra’s Airport Residential Area after the committee’s first hearing on May 15, 2025.
Kumi claims the judges were overheard discussing issues related to the petition during the dinner. A video of the supposed meeting has since gone viral online, with many questioning the credibility of the content.
His lawyer, Clement Opoku Gyamfi, indicated that NIB charged his client with publication of false news.
