Fuseini) as a gift so I was there to fix it for him\u2026 it wasn\u2019t the intent or a malicious idea as people are saying to track the minister (Mr. Amewu).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a private thing, it wasn\u2019t paid by any official or any government\u2026 to my knowledge I didn\u2019t know the device was there until yesterday,\u201d Haruna told Morning Starr host Francis Abban.<\/p>\n<p>The device was found in the office of the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources during a screening exercise in the office by National Security operatives who visited the minister\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Joy Fm report, it was planted in a huge coat of arms plague hanged at the far left end corner of the minister\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>The device has a camera, a storage unit and another believed to be a transmitter. The highly sensitive device which can even pick whisper 35-feet away was neatly housed in a black metal box and uses battery and is currently being investigated by the National Security.<\/p>\n<p>Mr John Peter Amewu who confirmed the discovery, expressed surprise saying \u201cIt\u2019s quite surprising. The device was discovered during a screening process and it is quite surprising such a device could be planted in the office.<\/p>\n<p>The offices of the ministers are expected to be screened from time to time as part of security arrangements and it was one of such exercises this was found. The kind of jobs we do regarding security concerns we have to do some of these things occasionally but I would not know who planted it there\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 51 updated by: 24 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Tuesday, 11 July 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-07-11 John Peter Amewu is former Minister of lands and resources &#13; Owners of the company that developed the audiovisual device planted in the office of the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources Minister, John Peter Amewu have owned up.
