The Economic and Organised Crime Office has arrested former Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries Company Limited, Maxwell Kofi Jumah, as part of an ongoing investigation.
Details of the case remain limited, but sources indicate that the arrest forms part of a broader probe into activities during his tenure at the state-owned company. EOCO has yet to publicly outline the specific allegations.
The development has drawn significant public attention, given Mr. Jumah’s prominence in both the corporate and political space. His leadership at GIHOC had been closely watched, particularly in relation to the company’s operations and financial management.
Officials say the investigation is ongoing, and Mr. Jumah is currently assisting authorities with inquiries. EOCO has reiterated its commitment to tackling economic and organised crime and ensuring accountability in public institutions.
The arrest emphasizes renewed efforts by state agencies to strengthen transparency and enforce compliance within state-owned enterprises. Analysts say such actions are critical in restoring public confidence in governance and institutional oversight.
Further updates are expected as investigations progress and more details emerge from the authorities.
