The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has reportedly arrested the former Deputy Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene, upon his arrival at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) from London.

According to reports, Mr. Boahene was taken into custody at approximately 8:30 a.m. on Thursday in a coordinated operation involving EOCO investigators and officials from the Attorney-General’s Department. The operation was reportedly led by EOCO’s Deputy Director, Raymond Archer.

Confirming the arrest in a Facebook post, Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, disclosed that Mr. Boahene was intercepted while waiting for his luggage.

“While patiently waiting at the lounge for his bags, he was told by the immigration officers stationed at the VIP section that there was an issue with his name which needed to be rectified at the main office at Terminal 3,” Afenyo-Markin stated.

He further alleged that EOCO officers proceeded to detain Mr. Boahene in handcuffs before escorting him through the Airport Departure Hall under heavy security presence.

“Deputy Director of EOCO, Raymond Archer, who was personally present along with his team, then handcuffed Mr. Adu Boahene at the departures area and escorted him through the Airport Departure Hall with approximately six officers,” he added.

Mr. Boahene was reportedly placed in a white Nissan Navara pickup with registration number GN 8850-22 and escorted by armed security personnel in additional vehicles, including another Navara pickup and a white Toyota Corolla.

“At about 9:47 p.m., he was whisked away to an unknown location,” Afenyo-Markin noted.
