EOCO Explains Visit to Chairman Wontumi’s Six-Bedroom Property at Tema Community 12
The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has explained its recent visit to a six-bedroom apartment belonging to New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, at Tema Community 12.
The Office disclosed that the visit was undertaken jointly with officials from the Lands Commission to obtain measurements and geographical coordinates of the property for a professional valuation.
In a clarification concerning the exercise, EOCO explained that the visit was not intended to cause any disturbance but formed part of the necessary procedures relating to the property, which had previously been frozen by the Office.
According to EOCO, the property was frozen last year as part of its ongoing processes, making the latest exercise necessary to establish its value through a professional assessment.
The Office further indicated that the exercise was completed in less than 10 minutes and ended without any incident.
The involvement of the Lands Commission was to ensure that the necessary technical measurements and coordinates were obtained to support the valuation process.
The clarification comes amid public discussions surrounding the presence of EOCO officials at the Tema residence, with questions being raised about the purpose of their visit and the circumstances under which the officers entered the property.
By providing its account, EOCO sought to explain that the exercise was an administrative and technical activity connected to the property’s valuation rather than an operation intended to create a confrontation.
The development also brings attention to the legal and investigative processes surrounding properties linked to individuals under investigation by state institutions.
EOCO is mandated to investigate and prosecute organised economic and financial crimes, including activities that may involve money laundering, fraud and other financial misconduct.
The Office can also take steps permitted by law to preserve assets connected to investigations while the necessary legal processes are pursued.
The latest explanation by EOCO is expected to provide further context to the discussions surrounding Chairman Wontumi’s Tema property, particularly the involvement of the Lands Commission in the valuation exercise.
However, the Office’s clarification indicates that the visit was limited to taking measurements and coordinates, with the entire activity reportedly lasting less than 10 minutes and concluding without any incident.
