EOCO Drops Update Following Its Visit To Chairman Wontumi’s Property In Tema

According to a report by GHOne TV today being Monday, November 9, 2026, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has responded to reports surrounding its recent visit to a property belonging to the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, at Tema.

According to the office, the visit was strictly intended for valuation purposes and should not be interpreted as an attempt to ransack or unlawfully search the property.

EOCO has sought to clarify the circumstances surrounding the exercise following public discussions and reports suggesting that officials had stormed the property to conduct an aggressive search.

The office explained that its presence at the Tema residence was connected to an official valuation exercise. It therefore rejected descriptions of the visit that suggested its personnel had gone there to ransack the premises.

The clarification comes amid growing public attention surrounding EOCO’s activities involving properties and assets linked to Chairman Wontumi.

The NPP politician has been at the centre of public discussions following investigations and other developments involving the anti-corruption agency.

EOCO’s explanation appears aimed at correcting the impression created by reports about the visit and ensuring that the public understands the purpose of the exercise.

The development has attracted attention among political observers and supporters of both the NPP and the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), particularly because of the political significance of the individuals involved.

However, the office maintains that the exercise at the Tema property was for valuation and not an attempt to ransack the premises, as some reports have suggested.
