The Ghanaian Lens can authoritatively reveal that National Security Capo, Lt. Col. Gbevlo Lartey was tricked into giving the approval that saw the Managing Editor of the New Punch Newspaper, travelling to Trinidad and Tobago ostensibly as part of the presidential press corp. The Ghanaian Lens can today authoritatively reveal that at all material times that Lt. Col. Gbevelo Lartey was giving approval for release of the necessary funds and other logistics towards funds and other logistics towards taking one journalist on the Presidential trip by National Security, he was doing so in the belief that he was giving approval Asempa Fm�s Nana Kwabena Bobie Ansah. Thus, Bobie Ansah became Baby Ansabah. But how did this happen? Was there a genuine mix up or was it a devious little manipulation employed to hoodwink Gbevlo Lartey? If indeed it was a genuine mistake, why was no effort made to secure accreditation for Baby Ansabah in Trinidad and Tobago? In fact, our information is that Baby Ansabah was not allowed to register with the Commonwealth Secretariat. As per this development Baby Ansabah was reduced to the status of a mere spectator or what is locally termed �paparazzi� that just walked about sheepishly on the luxurious ticket of the national security at the expense of the Ghanaian tax payer. Further checks by this paper show that such was the determination of some individuals at Gbevlo Lartey�s National Security outfit to take Baby Ansabah on the trip that even when the initial visa application on his behalf by State Protocol was �bounced�, they nonetheless found a way around that hiccup by making him travel to the US on his unexpired US visa, from whence he hopped into Trinidad and Tobago (where he needs no entry visa). Since it become public over the weekend that Baby Ansaba was on the presidential trip to Trinidad and Tobago, a lot of people have asked questions as to how come the man who devoted more than 500 of his publications the destroy the former first family the Rawlings� and the then candidate Mills could get access to the President by travelling with him among the President�s security capos.
