Fresh revelations have emerged surrounding the ongoing investigation into Deacon Adu Boahene, as the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) digs deeper into the mysterious disappearance of a staggering GHC 49 million.
The case, which has gripped national attention, is raising serious questions about financial accountability in both public and private institutions.
Sources close to the investigation have disclosed that not only is EOCO following the paper trail linked to Deacon Adu Boahene’s alleged involvement, but insiders such as his personal driver, former work colleagues, and even close friends have begun sharing sensitive information with investigators. This new testimony is expected to shed more light on how such a large sum of money could vanish without proper documentation or oversight.
EOCO Intensifies Investigations
According to reliable information, EOCO is leaving no stone unturned in this high-profile financial crime investigation. The anti-fraud agency has reportedly summoned several individuals connected to Deacon Adu Boahene for questioning, including those who worked closely with him during his previous roles in various companies and institutions.
His personal driver, whose identity remains undisclosed for security reasons, allegedly provided a detailed account of unusual financial transactions and late-night meetings with unknown persons. These claims have piqued the interest of EOCO investigators, who are now cross-checking this testimony with bank records and asset declarations.
A former work colleague has also come forward, suggesting that the sudden change in Adu Boahene’s lifestyle—marked by expensive property acquisitions and luxury vehicle purchases—raised internal suspicions long before EOCO launched its official inquiry.
GHC 49 Million Mystery Deepens
The case revolves around an unaccounted GHC 49 million, which reportedly went missing from a series of transactions involving government-linked projects and private partnerships. EOCO is currently tracing the source and destination of the funds, suspecting that sophisticated money-laundering schemes or insider fraud could be involved.
Investigators believe that some funds may have been quietly diverted into offshore accounts or hidden investments, a tactic that EOCO has uncovered in previous major fraud cases. Property ownership records, company registration documents, and international money transfers are all being scrutinized as part of the probe.

Public Confidence in EOCO Soars
The Ghanaian public is watching this case with intense interest, as the outcome will likely set a precedent for how high-value economic crimes are handled in the country. Many citizens have praised EOCO for stepping up efforts to combat organized financial crimes and bringing influential figures like Deacon Adu Boahene under legal scrutiny.
Economic analysts note that EOCO’s handling of this case could restore public trust in state anti-corruption bodies, particularly if the missing funds are recovered and perpetrators are held accountable.
Calls for Transparency and Accountability
Civil society groups are also calling on EOCO to provide periodic updates on the case to ensure transparency and maintain public trust. Many have demanded that the identities of all persons of interest be disclosed if found culpable.
One EOCO official commented off-record that, “The complexity of this case means we have to tread carefully, but our goal is clear—recover the GHC 49 million and ensure justice is served. We are confident that with the cooperation of witnesses and whistleblowers, this case will be resolved.”
As the EOCO investigation unfolds, more secrets surrounding Deacon Adu Boahene and the missing GHC 49 million continue to surface. With testimonies from his driver, former colleagues, and close associates now part of the inquiry, Ghanaians wait anxiously for the full truth to emerge.
