Renowned investigative journalist and security expert, Raymond Archer has been named the Acting Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), 3news.com has reported.
His appointment follows the reassignment of his predecessor, Abdulai Bashiru Dapilah, who has been moved to the National Security Secretariat to serve as a Technical Advisor.
While the government has not officially explained the rationale behind Dapilah’s reassignment, sources within the administration suggest it is part of a broader reshuffle across key security agencies.
Raymond Archer steps into the role at a pivotal time for EOCO, as the agency continues to spearhead efforts against economic and organised crime in Ghana.
His background in investigative journalism, particularly his expertise in uncovering financial improprieties, is expected to shape his leadership approach and strengthen the agency’s investigative capacity.
Archer’s appointment is seen as part of ongoing leadership transitions within Ghana’s security architecture, aimed at injecting new energy and direction into critical institutions.
Meanwhile, an official government statement on the recent changes is still pending.
