The Bureau of National Investigations have arrested three South African nationals, all ex police officers, who were engaged in actions the Bureau has described as injurious to our national security.
The three were training fifteen young Ghanaians in military tactics, including unarmed combat, weapon handling, VIP protection techniques and rapid response maneuvers.
The three have been identified as 54-year-old Major Ahmed Shaik Hazis (Rtd.), 39-year–old  WO/ Denver Dwayhe Naidu (Rtd.) and 45-year-old Captain Mlungiseleli Jokani (Rtd)- according to myjoyonline.
The three claim they were brought into the country by Nana Akuffo-Addo’s head of security, Capt Koda, ostensibly to train these young men for Delta Force Security, owned by Capt Kwesi Acquah (Rtd). The BNI, however, find the conduct suspicious, especially in the wake of the heightened terror alert in the country.
“The said training raises security issues given the heightened security awareness in the country following some terrorist attacks in the sub-region,” the BNI document, sighted by the website, stated.
The three were arrested in the Central Region Sunday, staying at a hotel owned by Capt Kwesi Acquah (Rtd). The BNI said when they attempted entering the hotel, they were initially denied entry. Later when they did, they found a document in the possession of one of the three which raises electoral concerns.
“Strangely, however, when the Police and BNI operatives went to the hotel to ascertain their mission they were refused entry by the trainees.  However, the security operatives finally entered the place and conducted a search on them.
“Surprisingly, a comprehensive report on the operations of Superlock Technologies Ltd (STL) was found in the possession of Hazis.   The document contained a detailed profile of all the workers of STL, past and present and went on to identify key staff members, giving an assessment of their strengths and vulnerabilities with the view to possibly compromising them so as to get them commit acts that will tend to favour a particular party in the 2016 elections, using the STL security infrastructure.  Images of all workers of STL were also contained in the document,”
STL is a company that was used by the EC for the transmission of collated results in the 2012 elections.
The BNI also added that the three, who entered the country a few weeks ago, were engaging in conduct that was far from anything their visas allowed them to do.
