The Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has released journalist and pro New Patriotic Party (NPP) sympathizer, Fadi Samih Daboussi.

The Ghanaian writer and journalist was reportedly arrested at the Kotoka International Airport last Friday for allegedly publishing a book which many say contains offensive comments about President John Mahama.

Mr. Daboussi’s lead Counsel, Hassan Tampoli who confirmed the recent development to Citi News said his client was granted a self-recognizance bail.

The BNI reportedly  ransacked Fadi's residence later after his arrest.

A group calling itself Ghana Must Know had earlier threatened to stage a mass action at the premises of the BNI, if it fails to release Mr. Daboussi by midnight.

“We are occupying BNI as early as 5am to demand the release of our brother. We are not going to do anything that will breach the peace of this country. We are only going there to demand for his immediate release. If they are not doing that then maybe it will follow with a mass demonstration across the country,” Convener of Ghana Must Know, Hopeson Adorye told Citi News.
