An executive assistant to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Charles Nii Teiko Tagoe, spent close to US$10,000 for a trip to the US in mid-September.<\/p>\n

The privately held Herald Newspaper’s publisher, Larry Dogbey, said that Tagoe paid the aforementioned sum for the trip, which was supposedly scheduled to take place between September 13 and 21.<\/p>\n

The article further stated that the Jubilee House employee was deported despite possessing a diplomatic passport for unspecified reasons.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post, the presidential aide denied having a diplomatic passport and being expelled. He also expressed the intention to sue the journalist for the article.<\/p>\n

In reaction, Larry Dogbey posted information about a KLM flight on Facebook, claiming that Tagoe had spent as much as US$9,600 for the entire trip.<\/p>\n

You departed Ghana on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, onboard KLM through Schipol Amsterdam to New York, according to a portion of Dogbey’s article. You flew back the next day, on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, on a Delta Air Lines direct flight from New York to Accra.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, September 21, 2022, you intended to take the same KLM through Schipol to return. Who spends almost US$10,000 for a ticket to see New York City?<\/p>\n

Who spends over US$10,000 for a ticket to look at New York City via airport windows? I’m awaiting your attorneys.<\/p>\n

On his Facebook page, the presidential aide provided yet another clarification, writing: So, according to Larry Dogbey and The Herald Newspaper, I arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Delta Air Lines flight DL 047 from Amsterdam, and I was arrested and deported at Dallas, Texas International Airport onboard a United Airlines? We’ll meet up soon, promise.<\/p>\n
