Alfred Ababio Kumi, also known as Adenta Kumi, a former NPP parliamentary aspirant for Adenta, has been released unconditionally from the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) custody.

He was released on Friday evening. His release follows his arrest by the NIB in the early hours of the same day. He was charged with the publication of false news.

The charges stem from comments he made on his X (formerly Twitter) account and during a radio interview, relating to a petition he submitted to President John Mahama.

Kumi alleged misconduct on the part of the committee members that, he claimed, could compromise the credibility of their inquiry.

In his petition, Kumi accused Justices Pwamang, Adibu-Asiedu, and Supreme Court Justice Yonni Kulendi of meeting with Thaddeus Sory—legal counsel for the petitioner Daniel Ofori—at Santoku Restaurant in Accra’s Airport Residential Area after the committee's first hearing on May 15, 2025.

Kumi claims the judges were overheard discussing issues related to the petition during the dinner.

A video of the supposed meeting has since gone viral online, with many questioning the credibility of the content.
