Luxurious Benz Cars Were Forcibly Driven Into My House--MCE

Ketu South MCE says smugglers forced their way into his residence despite attempts by his security to stop them and hid two luxurious Mercedes Benz vehicles without custom documents.

This he explained, got him furious so he called the Aflao sector of the Custom Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), and reported the matter following which the vehicles were impounded.

“That was the reason why I had to call the security concerned to come and impound the vehicles,” Mr. Agbenorwu told Bernice Abu Baidoo on JoyNews TV midday news, Tuesday.

The luxury Mercedes Benz vehicles, with the street value of $3.2 million, were reportedly smuggled into the country through unapproved routes at Ghana’s southern town Aflao in the Volta Region.

But the MCE, who does not reside in the premises because it is under renovation, denies involvement in the importation of the vehicles.

He also does not suspect anybody. “I don’t know anybody who may be doing that,” indicated.

Earlier, the Aflao Sector Commander of the GRA, Frank Ashong who spoke on the Midday News on Joy FM Tuesday, said they are yet to identify the owner of the luxury vehicles.

However, Myjoyonline.com has learnt that investigations conducted by National Security operatives have pointed to a prominent businessman (name withheld), said to be the owner of the uncustomed cars.
