Emotions ran high when the media visited the family home of the Member of Parliament for Asante Akyem North, Ohene Kwame Frimpong, popularly known as OK Frimpong, following his arrest in the Netherlands.

A close relative of the MP Abena Fosuaa, who described herself to be his mother’s direct sister, insisted that he is innocent of all allegations levelled against him in connection with the arrest.

The woman struggled to control her emotions throughout the interview and broke down in tears repeatedly.

Speaking to Ohene Media on May 14, 2026, she described the MP as a kind and hardworking person.

“For his character, he is a good man. Since childhood, he has never fought with anybody before. Even if he comes around and sees a child eating, he will join the person to eat. He does not discriminate. Just last Saturday, he came to distribute clothes to widows and mothers,” she said.

She continued, “He has been supporting me with money to farm maize, rice and other agricultural products. I was on my way to the farm when I was informed that he had been arrested…I have stayed with him for a long time, and he is not lazy. He is a hustler and can even carry water for money.”

“He has done everything before except stealing,” she added amid tears.
