Former Minister for Railways Development, John Peter Amewu, has been released following his arrest by National Security operatives on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
Amewu was reportedly taken in for questioning regarding the $2 million Sky Train Project, which has come under scrutiny for failing to achieve its intended objectives. Sources told Citi News that his arrest was part of ongoing investigations into the controversial initiative.
The project, which had $2 million allegedly allocated to it, was recently declared unsuccessful by Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine. Speaking at a press briefing on Monday, March 24, Dr. Ayine confirmed that the Sky Train initiative did not meet its objectives.
He further announced that legal action against those involved in the scandal would commence by mid-April 2025.
“Prosecutions related to the Sky Train scandal would begin by mid-April 2025,” he stated.
Dr. Ayine also assured the public that those implicated are cooperating with investigators and that efforts are underway to recover misappropriated public funds.
“Justice will be served, with efforts to recover misappropriated public funds from those implicated,” he added.
The Sky Train project was initially introduced as a solution to Ghana’s urban transportation challenges but has since faced criticism over financial mismanagement and lack of progress.
