The early morning operation on May 15, 2025, targeted the retrieval of alleged state vehicles believed to be in Jumah’s possession. At the time of the raid, he was reportedly not at home.
Prior to the incident, Jumah took to social media, indicating his readiness to hand over the car in question, a Genesis G90 saloon. However, he also demanded that his personal assets—allegedly of higher value—be returned in exchange.
“They can come for it. They should also prepare to hand over my properties to me. It is more than the car,” he posted.
A letter from the GIHOC board dated August 1, 2019, had authorized Jumah’s purchase of the luxury vehicle at GH¢4,943.11, a fraction of the estimated market value of GH¢98,862.00 as appraised by the State Transport Company.
The former appointee under former President Akufo-Addo is currently under investigation for alleged financial impropriety.
Accusations range from questionable vehicle acquisitions to unauthorized sale of company property in Tema, reportedly worth over $700,000.
He is also said to have retained two other official vehicles without formal board clearance—one of which was allegedly used by his son.
Reports suggest that one of the vehicles has since been recovered and returned to Accra.
Meanwhile, investigations into possible mismanagement, including inflated staff numbers, are ongoing.
