The National Security has impounded a seven series BMW customized car, which was imported into the country by former President John Agyekum Kufuor.
According to sources, the vehicle was impounded at Safe Bond, one of the warehouses at Tema Harbour, around 10am on Monday, upon a tip off. A National Security source, which confirmed the seizure said his outfit had mounted surveillance at the Tema Port throughout the weekend, after being informed that the former President had ordered three customized cars, and that one of them would arrive into the country over the weekend.
He said though the car did arrive, the importer managed to elude them.
Chronicle gathered that some operatives of National Security chanced upon some people who had gathered around a car yesterday, and murmuring to each other that "this is former President Kufuor's vehicle", "this is Omanpanin dada's car".
That drew their attention to the scene, and they radioed for cross checking and moved in quickly to impound it.
The security source noted that had the former President done the right thing by passing through the correct procedure at the National Security, the State Protocol would have done the clearing for him, but he would now have to wait for directives from the hierarchy of National Security.
"The right thing should be done at the right time. We shouldn't be repeating things all over. It doesn't augur well for the country", the security source said.
Mr. Frank Agyekum, Spokesperson for ex-President Kuffuor, when reached on his mobile phone said he had no knowledge about the President's impounded car, he answered incredulously.
