Two aides of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings have
been picked up by officers of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) from
their homes.
It is unclear why the two, Barbara and Thelma, were
picked up by the BNI operatives on Thursday, November 19.
A daughter of one of the
arrested persons told 3FM in
an interview that security operatives numbering about twenty showed up in their
home in the early hours of Thursday and asked them to surrender their phones.
She said also that a young boy,
who was preparing for school, was alarmed by the incident and sent a text
message to his, who came around and was also asked to surrender his mobile
phone.
Their mobile phones were seized and movement was
restricted for several hours.
As about 9:00am, the officials went away with the
phones and amount of money they cannot disclose.
“A number of security operatives fully armed
numbering about twenty barged into our home this morning around 6:00am for
information and ransacked the whole house.
“Our mobile phones were seized and movement restricted till
about 9:00am. As at now, we’re hungry and even scared to move though they
aren’t around,” she said.
