Security analyst Adam Bona has accused Maame Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, Executive Director of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO), of stating on record that she would have “killed” the Cecilia Dapaah stash money case if she were in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Police Service (CID).
According to Bona, documents from EOCO indicate dissatisfaction among staff regarding their boss’s handling of the Dapaah issue and other matters.
“If you had said to me that you would have killed the case if you were CID boss; granted at the time you were not CID boss, so I didn’t say anything, but she had said it to me on record. She said she would kill the case if she were CID boss,” Bona told Accra-based Neat FM.
When asked why she would say such a thing, Bona responded, “That’s why there is perjury, so we will get there as we go along.”
Bona felt compelled to speak out following EOCO’s handling of the matter after it was referred to them by the Special Prosecutor. “After telling me that you would have killed the case if you were the CID boss and after how this matter has turned up, you still expect me to continue behaving like a spectator when I know what’s going on? No, I can’t,” he stated.
Bona and other prominent Ghanaians have petitioned parliament to probe EOCO’s conduct in the Dapaah money saga after the former minister’s seized cash was returned to her by EOCO.
EOCO maintains there is nothing to investigate, despite the Special Prosecutor’s assertion that enough evidence was provided to warrant an investigation and prosecution of the former sanitation minister.
