Supporters of Ibrahim Mahama throng EOCO

Supporters of Ibrahim Mahama on Friday massed up at the headquarters of the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) in Accra.

The move was to show solidarity with the brother of former President John Mahama who is being investigated in connection with some alleged financial malfeasance.

Ibrahim Mahama was on Tuesday picked up by EOCO for questioning over some dud cheques he issued to the Customs division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at the Tema Port to clear some heavy duty equipment he imported.

This development is hinged on the fresh claims by the Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyepong saying Ibrahim Mahama had defrauded the state of almost 14 million cedis.

It is unclear whether the said EOCO issue is linked to the earlier allegations made against the businessman by Agyepong.

At Ibrahim’s last appearance, EOCO asked him to bring along his passport. He was asked to reappear on Friday, 21 April.

He appeared at the headquarters on Friday amidst solidarity from his supporters.
