Nii Amanor Dodoo and Oscar Doe
The
Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has extended an invitation to the Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) of Eurostar Global Limousines, Oscar Yao Doe, over alleged
threats to the life of Nii Amanor Dodoo, the Receiver of defunct uniBank.
A
letter issued and signed by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Edward Tabiri said
Oscar Doe should report today at 2 pm. DCOP Tabiri is the leader of Special
Investigation Team (SIT) looking at the circumstances that led to the collapse
of the indigenous banks including uniBank.
He
stated in the invitation that “the records in the books of the defunct uniBank show
that you owe the Bank to the sum of GH¢101,960.14. Nii Amanor Dodoo acting in
his capacity as the Receiver wrote to you to demand that you settle the
outstanding balances. You responded by issuing a series of threats to his life
in an email correspondence from 2nd August 2019 to 15th August 2019.”
Oscar
Doe has confirmed the police invitation and said he was ready to honour it.
He
later said on radio that “where is the evidence to proof I have threatened to kill
Nii Amanor Dodoo, ‘The Deceiver in Chief’?”
The
11-member SIT was appointed by the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice in
consultation with the Minister for the Interior, Minister for National Security
and the Inspector General of Police to look into the activities of the
insolvent banks which were taken over by the Bank of Ghana.
The
team comprises personnel from the Ghana Police Service, the Economic and
Organized Crime Office, the Financial Intelligence Centre, the Office of the
Attorney-General, the Banking Industry and the Chartered Institute of
Accountants.
It is headed by a Deputy Commissioner of Police.
