The residence of Maxwell Kofi Jumah in Kumasi has allegedly been ransacked by officials of the Economic and Organised Crime Office.

The claim was made by Paul Yandoh of the New Patriotic Party, who alleged that items including clothing, laptops and keys were taken during the operation.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr Yandoh said he received information about the incident and later visited the property, where he found broken doors and belongings scattered.

He questioned the conduct of the officials, alleging that heavily armed personnel carried out the operation without presenting a search warrant.

“I was informed this morning that his house was ransacked by EOCO. When I arrived, the doors were broken, everything had been removed from his wardrobe, and his keys were taken along with other items. What has happened to the normal procedure of calling people in for questioning if you need them?” he asked.

Mr Yandoh further expressed concern over what he described as the treatment of former officials linked to the NPP.

“The guns they were carrying looked like they were preparing for war. When I asked one of the officers if they had a search warrant, all they showed me was an EOCO badge. What are they even going to do with his keys? His clothes were scattered everywhere, and other belongings were taken as well. This situation is very troubling,” he added.

As of now, the Economic and Organised Crime Office has not publicly responded to the allegations.
