Thou shall not jump the gun. Afterall, the Ghanaian deputy Inspector General of Police knows his son. Blood is thicker than water.

London bomber is not K.K Manfo’s son - British Police
Posted: Aug 15 2005 www.myjoyonline.com

It has now been confirmed by the British Metropolitan Police that the person in police custody alleged to have been connected to the London bombing is not the son of Ghana’s Deputy Inspector General of Police.

Dr. K.K. Manfo’s son, Kwaku Asiedu Manfo was believed to be the man arrested by the London Police in connection with the failed July 21 attacks on London.

The arrested man bares the same name as Dr. Manfo’s son, Kwaku Asiedu Manfo who is said to be mentally handicapped.

According to a statement issued by Ghana’s foreign ministry, the person in question is not related to Dr K.K Manfo and that there has been a case of identity theft.

The High Commission in the UK is yet to have audience with the man arrested.

Dr. K.K. Manfo’s son, Kwaku Asiedu Manfo has now been traced to a hostel in Watford.

The Metropolitan police will be issuing a press statement on the matter in due course, the statement said.
