EOCO Breaks Silence on Alleged Ransacking of Chairman Wontumi’s Property in Tema

The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has denied allegations that its officers ransacked a property in Tema owned by New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi.

According to a statement released on November 9, 2026, EOCO officials visited the property alongside representatives of the Lands Commission to conduct measurements and capture its geographical coordinates for an official valuation.

The office explained that the property was already subject to a freezing order that had been upheld by a court in the previous year.

EOCO stressed that the visit was an administrative procedure aimed at preparing the property for a professional assessment by the Lands Commission.

It further indicated that the exercise took less than 10 minutes and ended peacefully, with no disturbance or incident reported.

The office therefore rejected media reports suggesting that its officers had ransacked the premises, describing such accounts as misleading and asking the public not to rely on them.
