Tony Mintah, the Chief Executive of Ghana’s Fifth Generation (5G) technology internet service provider, has gone missing.
The police have thus initiated investigations to trace his whereabouts.
Ghana’s 5G technology has been planned to go live on November 1, 2024.
A police statement issued Wednesday (October 23) afternoon said Tony Mintah “was allegedly taken away by unidentified individuals from the premises of the National Communications Authority (NCA) in Accra.”
The police statement does not indicate when he was taken away, except to state that anybody with relevant information about his whereabouts should contact the police.
NextGen InfraCo is the company awarded the licensing contract to execute Ghana’s upgrade to the 5G spectrum.
The government issued the 5G service licence to Next Gen InfraCo, a new shared infrastructure company, which is co-promoted by the government and seven other industries.
The partners for the service as indicated by the government are Ascend Digital, K-NET, Radisys, Nokia, Tech Mahindra, AT Ghana, and Telecel Ghana.
