Accra: Emotions ran high when the media visited the family home of the Member of Parliament for Asante Akyem North, Ohene Kwame Frimpong, popularly known as OK Frimpong, following his arrest in the Netherlands. A close relative of the MP, Abena Fosuaa, who described herself as his mother's direct sister, insisted that he is innocent of all allegations levelled against him in connection with the arrest. The woman struggled to control her emotions throughout the interview and broke down in tears repeatedly.
According to Ghana Web, although the Parliament of Ghana has confirmed the arrest, little is currently known about why the NPP lawmaker was in the Netherlands. GhanaWeb first reported that the MP had been arrested by Dutch authorities in connection with an investigation linked to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Sources familiar with the matter indicated that the MP is being investigated over alleged financial crimes, including money laundering and suspected romance scams involving an estimated US$32 million.
During an interview with Ohene Media on May 14, 2026, Abena Fosuaa described the MP as a kind and hardworking person. She stated, 'For his character, he is a good man. Since childhood, he has never fought with anybody before. Even if he comes around and sees a child eating, he will join the person to eat. He does not discriminate. Just last Saturday, he came to distribute clothes to widows and mothers.'
Fosuaa further shared her personal experiences, revealing, 'He has been supporting me with money to farm maize, rice and other agricultural products. I was on my way to the farm when I was informed that he had been arrested.I have stayed with him for a long time, and he is not lazy. He is a hustler and can even carry water for money.' She concluded by asserting, 'He has done everything before except stealing,' amid tears.
