Amsterdam:Accra The Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has provided the latest updates concerning the legal situation of Ohene Kwame Frimpong, the Member of Parliament for Asante Akyem North, who remains detained in the Netherlands.
According to Ghana Web, Frimpong has unsuccessfully applied for bail twice in the Netherlands and is currently awaiting an extradition hearing set for November 18, 2026. Dafeamekpor shared this information during a parliamentary briefing session on November 3, 2026.
The extradition proceedings will determine whether Frimpong should be sent to the United States to face allegations linked to romance scams and money laundering. Dafeamekpor clarified that contrary to some reports, Frimpong has not yet been extradited to the US, as the process remains under the jurisdiction of the Dutch courts.
Frimpong's arrest occurred in May 2026 at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, following his arrival from Accra. Dafeamekpor called on the public to keep Frimpong in their prayers, expressing hope for a favorable outcome that would allow Frimpong to return to Ghana and resume his duties. Further updates are expected after the scheduled hearing.
