Officials from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) have reportedly stormed the residence of former GIHOC Distilleries Managing Director, Maxwell Kofi Jumah.
According to reports, the operation took place at Jumah’s residence, although details surrounding the purpose of the raid remain unclear. It is not immediately known whether any arrests were made or items seized during the alleged operation.
The development adds to the legal and investigative challenges facing the former GIHOC boss, who has previously been the subject of law enforcement action over alleged financial misconduct. In 2025, he was reportedly arrested by security operatives as part of ongoing investigations into his tenure at the state-owned company.
EOCO, established under the Economic and Organised Crime Office Act, is mandated to investigate and prosecute serious financial crimes, including corruption, fraud, and money laundering in Ghana.
As of now, EOCO has not officially commented on the reported raid, and efforts to obtain a response from Mr. Jumah or his representatives have yet to yield results.
The incident is expected to heighten public interest in ongoing efforts by state institutions to clamp down on alleged corruption and financial irregularities in public enterprises.
