In a statement signed by the Clerk to Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, Parliament confirmed that it had been informed about the incident involving the Independent Member of Parliament.
According to the statement, the Speaker of Parliament and the leadership of the House are in contact with Ghana’s Mission in The Hague to obtain full details surrounding the matter.
Parliament, however, did not disclose the circumstances leading to the detention or indicate whether any charges had been filed against the legislator.
The development has drawn attention within political circles and among constituents in Asante Akyem North as authorities work to establish the facts surrounding the incident.
Mr Frimpong entered Parliament on January 7, 2025, after winning the 2024 parliamentary election as an Independent candidate. His victory was considered one of the major upsets of the election, as he defeated former New Patriotic Party MP Andy Kwame Appiah-Kubi.
Before entering politics, Mr Frimpong was widely known as an entrepreneur and philanthropist with business interests in Ghana. No further official information has yet been released regarding his situation in the Netherlands.
