The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has reportedly arrested Nana Ama Osei-Bonsu, popularly known as Queen Amadia, at the Accra International Airport. Queen Amadia is the wife of Goldridge Chief Executive Officer Nana Yaw Duodu, widely known as Dr. Sledge. Security agencies intercepted her at the terminal while she was allegedly attempting to leave the country.
The dynamic airport intervention links directly to an ongoing state investigation into massive financial irregularities within the gold sector. Specifically, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has been auditing transactions connected to the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF). Investigators are tracking a suspected deficit of over $94 million in state funds linked to unfulfilled trade settlements.
Following her dramatic interception, Queen Amadia was immediately taken into state custody for intensive interrogation regarding her financial dealings. Intelligence sources allege that forensic accountants subsequently discovered staggering sums of foreign currency across her private bank accounts. Investigators strongly suspect these multi-million dollar deposits are tied to the broader Goldridge Refinery corporate network.
The high-profile arrest has caused deep shockwaves across Ghana’s business and political landscapes, highlighting a major victory for state asset tracking. State security operatives had previously executed search warrants at the family’s Trassaco estate and East Legon corporate offices. Those coordinated raids resulted in the temporary seizure of luxury vehicles, expensive jewelry, firearms, and landed property deeds.
While authorities are yet to release a full, formal statement on the current status of her detention, the case has already triggered massive public interest online. The aggressive border enforcement proves that state anti-corruption bodies are actively collaborating to prevent high-profile targets from evading local justice.
