Former Railways Minister John Peter Amewu has been released after being arrested by National Security operatives on March 25, 2025.
His detention was linked to investigations into the failed $2 million Sky Train Project.
Attorney-General Dr. Dominic Ayine recently confirmed that the project did not meet its objectives and announced that prosecutions related to the case would begin by mid-April.
He assured the public that suspects are cooperating with investigators and that efforts are underway to recover misappropriated public funds.
John Peter Amewu is a Ghanaian politician who previously served as the Minister for Railways Development. Before that, he held key government positions, including Minister for Energy and Minister for Lands and Natural Resources.
Amewu is a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and was also the Member of Parliament for Hohoe.
He played a significant role in Ghana’s energy and natural resources sectors, particularly in tackling illegal mining (galamsey). His recent arrest was linked to the failed $2 million Sky Train Project, which remains under investigation.
