EOCO investigations in Ghana

Overview

The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in Ghana has been involved in several legal and investigative matters involving high-profile individuals.

In late August 2026, an Accra Circuit Court granted bail to Kweku Osei Korankye Asiedu, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) communicator, following charges of threat of death, offensive conduct, and publishing false information. The prosecution alleged that Asiedu recorded a video threatening the lives of EOCO staff, stating, “We know the officers’ houses, we know where they stay and will kill you.”

By September 2026, EOCO expanded its investigative activities to include questioning Joseph Dindiok Kpemka regarding unspecified dealings at the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST). Kpemka, a former Deputy Managing Director of BOST and former Deputy Attorney-General, was granted bail following the questioning as investigations continue.
