The Economic and Organised Crime Office has rejected claims that its officers ransacked a property in Tema belonging to the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
In an official update issued on Monday, the anti-graft agency clarified that its personnel, alongside officials from the Lands Commission, visited the site solely to collect precise measurements and coordinates needed for a professional property valuation.
“The said property was frozen by EOCO and confirmed by the Court last year,” the statement noted, adding that the exercise formed part of standard legal procedures.
Addressing the speculation circulating across various media platforms, the law enforcement body emphasized that the entire operation was conducted swiftly and peacefully, taking under ten minutes to complete without any disruption.
“The activity was completed in less than 10 minutes without any incident. This is what has been characterised as ransacking of Wontumi’s house,” the release explained.
EOCO has consequently advised the public to ignore what it described as false publications regarding the exercise, reiterating its commitment to due process.
