COP Maame Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, the Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), has issued a bold challenge to security analyst Adam Bonaa, urging him to address their issues directly rather than through the media.
This follows allegations made by Bonaa that Addo-Danquah had threatened his family.
In an interview with Starr FM, COP Addo-Danquah admitted to calling Bonaa’s wife but clarified that her intention was not to issue threats.
Instead, she wanted Mrs. Bonaa to advise her husband to cease making false statements about her.
“I called the wife to plead to her conscience as a fellow woman because she wouldn’t be happy if the least opportunity that Bonaa gets he will lie about me,” Addo-Danquah explained.
She further elaborated on her motive, emphasizing that her advice was meant to protect Mrs. Bonaa from becoming an “innocent victim” in the ongoing dispute.
“I told her that all that he (Dr. Bonaa) has said doesn’t mean anything to me, but if he doesn’t stop, I will pray. If she doesn’t call her husband to order, I will go on my knees and I will pray to my God and my God will listen, and she the wife might become an innocent victim,” she stated.
Dr. Bonaa had earlier accused COP Addo-Danquah of threatening his family, stating on radio, “She actually called my wife to threaten my wife, children, and me. I found that very appalling for someone of her calibre and so I am going to make a formal complaint to the CID for her to be questioned.”
These allegations are rooted in Dr. Bonaa’s petition to Parliament regarding the closure of investigations into the Cecilia Dapaah case, which had been referred by the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
In response, COP Addo-Danquah expressed her readiness to appear before Parliament to clarify the mandate and operations of EOCO.
“I am ever prepared and ready to face Parliament because it will be an opportunity to educate people like Bonaa on the mandate of EOCO. Stop running to the media and face me,” she challenged.
