The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has denied claims that its officers ransacked the Tema property of former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
In a news release dated November 9, 2026, EOCO said officers from the Office and officers from the Lands Commission visited a property in Tema belonging to Chairman Wontumi to conduct a valuation exercise.
According to EOCO, it got the said property frozen by a Court Order last year.
“As part of due process, EOCO and Lands Commission officials were at the property to pick the coordinates and measurements to enable Lands Commission to conduct a professional valuation,” the statement said.
EOCO said the activity was completed in less than 10 minutes without any incident.
“This is what has been characterised as ransacking of Wontumi’s house,” EOCO said.
The Office urged the general public to disregard false publications circulating within the media space about the said activity.
The statement was signed by the Head of Corporate Affairs and Public Education for the Executive Director.
