Ghanaian armed forces to question military officer
Gladys Duffour, military officer (WO2), is currently under investigation by the Ghana Armed Forces and Police for his involvement in the operation of a Ponzi scheme known as the name of Emmanuel Investment.
Traditional media and social media have suggested that the military high command has not reacted to information that an officer has defrauded his colleagues and the public.
The woman reportedly kidnapped thousands of Ghanaian cedis from her victims.
The report further stated that some soldiers who had invested their savings, salaries and the proceeds of peacekeeping operations had not recovered their investments since October 2018.
However, a statement signed by the Director of Public Relations of the Ghana Armed Forces and seen by Citi News indicates that the command is working with the police to ensure that justice is done.
"The police are still pursuing investigations in collaboration with other state investigative organs. Military police also closely monitor investigations. It is therefore false that anyone who claims or insinuates that the military hierarchy tolerates wrongdoing at the barracks.
The military high command wishes to badure the public that it will not tolerate under any circumstances any unprofessional conduct on the part of a member of the Ghana Armed Forces. The situation at the barracks is clamorous and there is no alleged tension by the audio. "
EOCO saves 9,000 customers from 3 Ponzi projects
The move came a few days after the Office for Combating Organized and Economic Crime (EOCO) said it had avoided more than 9,000 customers from losing their investments with three financial institutions that would have operated Ponzi schemes. .
The companies, named Wealth Drive Ghana Limited, Global Coin Help Limited and TCL Market Ghana Limited, were committed to paying interest rates of between 10% and 30% on their clients' deposits.
To operate without a license, the three companies were brought to justice.
MK K. Amoah, executive director of EOCO, told the Daily Graphic in Accra last Thursday that distressed customers had, at the request of EOCO, agreed on a payment schedule with companies to have their deposits reimbursed.
Until now, he clarified that the payment plan agreed with the customers was strictly adhered to.
