Council of State member Kwamigah-Atokple speaks after being declared wanted by EOCO
Gabriel T.K.A. Kwamigah-Atokple, Volta Regional representative on the Council of State, accused the leadership of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) of abuse of power, defying a court ruling, and causing reputational harm in a statement dated March 30, 2026. He demanded that EOCO's Acting Executive Director, Raymond Archer, issue an immediate public apology or face legal action. He has also petitioned John Dramani Mahama to dismiss Archer and his deputy over alleged abuse of office.
Kwamigah-Atokple said the dispute began in November 2025 when EOCO opened an investigation into Sesi-Edem Company Limited, a company he founded, over allegations of defrauding by false pretences and money laundering linked to a transaction with JG Resources Ltd. On November 19, EOCO invited the company's Managing Director to provide documents. The following day, EOCO froze the company's bank accounts. He maintains that the company complied fully, submitting documents and appearing before EOCO on December 3, 2025.

Kwamigah-Atokple cited a March 19, 2026, ruling by the High Court in Adentan, which he said found EOCO acted without lawful mandate, ordered the immediate defreezing of the company's accounts, and determined the case to be civil rather than criminal.
