Rawlings' Bodyguard Queried

The Daily Guide says eleven soldiers, including the personal bodyguard of ex President J.J. Rawlings, RSM. Kuntoh, were on March 16, 2001 picked up by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) for interrogation.

According to the private daily, three of the soldiers were attached to the ex President's household. The paper says source close to it indicates that the 11 who had come to security notice were picked up after the BNI had sought permission from the Military authorities.

Their invitations, Guide says it is reliably informed were related to matters concerning illegal possession of arms, to issues pertaining to national security.
