Ghana Palaver

According to the Ghana Palaver sources, Regimental Sergeant-Major (RSM) Jack Beblie, is gravely shocked by allegations of his involvement in the daylight robbery of 2.4 billion cedis worth of gold Bars belonging to Amansie Resources, a mining company in Ashanti.

The paper in a front page story says Jack Beblie is even more shocked on realising that his relation, including his own son, Jack Jnr., were apparently involved in the operation, quoting the sources.

The Palaver says in spite of his ill-health, Jack Beblie has indicated his determination to assist the investigation team in hunting his relations who are said to be involved in the robbery, until they are arrested. He said that is the only way to help clear his name as well as the institution to which he belonged. Quoting the sources, the Palaver says Jack Beblie had to suspend his treatment abroad and fly back home when he was informed about the allegation of his involvement in the robbery case.

The paper says Jack Belie, meanwhile, has been released on bail.
