The Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL) has revoked the interdiction of one of its aviation security officers, Awudu Basit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Basit was interdicted for conducting a pre-boarding search on the National Security Minister, Albert Kan-Dapaah; an action airport authorities said was an embarrassment to the Minister.<\/p>\n

In addition to the interdiction<\/strong>, Mr. Basit, was to receive two-thirds of his salary during the period of interdiction.<\/p>\n

But in a statement dated, Tuesday, September 13, 2022, the company said: \u201cmanagement has reconsidered the interdiction\u201d.<\/p>\n

The reinstatement followed \u201cfurther consultations and facts which have since come to its attention\u201d, the statement mentioned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the meantime, the committee of enquiry shall proceed with its mandate as spelt out in the Convening Order.<\/p>\n

The search was said to have been conducted at the VVIP Lounge at the Kumasi Airport on September 8, 2022.<\/p>\n

An earlier letter signed by the Company\u2019s officer in charge of human capital and officer service, R. S. Tagoe indicated that the search created a \u201cnegative impression.\u201d<\/p>\n

The interdiction was to pave way for investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn view of the negative impression it cast on the company\u2019s image and integrity, management has decided to thoroughly investigate the circumstances leading to this incident\u201d, the interdiction statement noted.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
