The Ghana Police Service has confirmed that Tony Mintah, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NextGen InfraCo, who was earlier reported missing, has been found alive.
In a statement released on Wednesday, October 23, the police assured the public that further details would be provided in due course.
According to the Management of Next Gen Infraco (NGIC), Mr Mintah is safe. They expressed gratitude to the Ghana Police
Service for their swift and professional response to the situation.
“We also want to extend our appreciation to the general public for their support and cooperation during this time. Your vigilance and assistance were invaluable. Thank you once again to the authorities and the public for your continued efforts,” a statement from the company read.
Mr. Mintah was declared missing by the Ghana Police Service just an hour before the announcement of his discovery. He was reportedly taken from the National Communications Authority (NCA) by unidentified individuals.
His disappearance raised concerns, especially as it came just a week before the scheduled November 1 implementation of Ghana’s 5G services, a major project spearheaded by NextGen InfraCo under a licensing contract.
The police urged the public to remain calm and continue reporting any relevant information to the designated hotline, 0547927272, as investigations continue.
NextGen InfraCo, launched in June 2024 by Communication Minister Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, is responsible for delivering affordable 5G mobile broadband services in Ghana.
