The Former CEO of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) Solomon Asamoah has denied allegations made by Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, regarding his alleged hiding in Senegal to evade justice.

In a press briefing yesterday, Dr. Ayine disclosed that Mr Asamoah, a key suspect in the Sky Train scandal, had traveled to South Africa and finally to Senegal.

In a statement cited by MX24 News, Solomon Asamoah described the claims as entirely inaccurate and untrue, stating that he is committed to transparency and cooperation with authorities.

Asamoah clarified that he traveled out of Ghana on Friday, March 21, 2025, to attend scheduled board meetings abroad as part of his corporate responsibilities.

He stressed that his departure had been planned well in advance and that no government official had contacted him regarding any investigation before he left the country.

“In fact, I traveled out of Ghana on Friday 21st March 2025 to attend scheduled board meetings as part of a corporate responsibility that was planned well in advance. Prior to my departure I have been present in Ghana for long periods in both February and March. During this period, I was never contacted by any government official in relation to an invitation to assist in any investigation.

“However, on Saturday, 22nd March 2025, a day after departure from Accra, I was indeed contacted via whatsapp by an official of the National Intelligence Bureau who requested an online meeting with me which we agreed to hold on Wednesday 26th March at 4 pm. This would enable me to respond to any misconceptions and misunderstandings on any substantive matter related to investments by GIIF.”
