EOCO denies ransacking Chairman Wontumi’s Tema property, says visit was for valuation

The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has refuted allegations that its officers conducted a raid on the property of Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, in Tema. The Office clarified that its representatives, along with officials from the Lands Commission, visited the site on Monday, November 9, 2026, to gather information for a professional valuation of the residence.

EOCO stated in a press release that the property had been frozen by the Office and affirmed by a court decision issued last year. The visit, which lasted less than ten minutes, was part of the standard protocol to enable the Lands Commission to carry out an official assessment of the property's value. EOCO dismissed the reports characterizing the visit as a ransacking, urging the public not to accept such false narratives.
