A yet-to-be-identified Nigerian man has been arrested by the police in Ghana for allegedly beheading his girlfriend.
A journalist in the country, Serwaa Amihere disclosed this on Twitter.
According to her, the incident occurred in Spintex.
“A young Nigerian man has been picked up by the Ghana Police Service for allegedly beheading his girlfriend at Spintex,” she posted while attaching a video of the incident.
The corpse of the lady was seen being taken to the back of a pickup vehicle in the video.
This is coming a few weeks after the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) arrested seven Nigerians in connection with alleged involvement in activities of cybercrime in Ghana.
The suspects were nabbed after the EOCO acted on intelligence to raid a residence at Manhean, Obeyeyie in the Greater Accra Region.

The Economic and Organized Crimes Office (EOCO) has joined efforts to improve royalty payments and collections due the state from the mining sector in Ghana.
EOCO has thus become the newest member of a group of related agencies in the extractive and minerals sub sector led by the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF).
MIIF is the statutory body that receives royalties on behalf of the state, manages the equity interest of Government of Ghana in large-scale mining companies. The Fund subsequently invests these dividends and royalties on behalf of the people of Ghana.
The Inter Agency collaboration is borne out of a framework to enhance the collection of royalties, expand the royalties net and streamline communication on royalties’ payments especially from non-gold mining sector such as salt mining, sand winning, limestone, granite, and quarrying.
Strategic collaboration
The collaboration which was initiated by MIIF in December 2021, has improved the efficiency in collections of non-gold royalties through collaborative efforts of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) which is responsible for the collection of royalties on behalf of MIIF, the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) which assesses standards and accurate production measurements of minerals and the Minerals Commission (MINCOM), the regulator of the mining sector.
The Inter-Agency committee comprises officials from the Minerals Commission, the regulator of the sector, Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
The Chief Executive Officer of MIIF, Edward Nana Yaw Koranteng, welcomed the inclusion of EOCO to the Inter-Agency. “The inclusion of EOCO” Mr Koranteng indicated “adds a new dimension to this all-important initiative and we will leverage on their expertise and infrastructure to help identify and collect royalties from these mineral types”.
Results so far
“Payments of Royalties from quarries since we started this Inter-Agency Collaboration in December 2021 have gone up by over 100%. For the first time in Ghana’s history, Sand Winners who had never paid royalties to the State are now making good their commitments and paying royalties.
“The Salt and Limestone sectors are performing above 200% on pre-November 2021 figures. We could end the year at circa GHc 30 million which was lost to the state previously” Edward Koranteng said.
The collaboration is also yielding reconciliation of data, collection of data and information sharing much quicker. We are dilating on the same information and adopting a singular multifaceted strategy because we are all in one room thinking about solutions and efficiency.
“This helps us to leverage our experiences for innovation. For example, through this inter-agency, the business development unit of MIIF has built a geo-mapping system covering most of the non-gold minerals.
“We are working together, with the relevant laws and mandates leaving no room for exploitation by those who want to take advantage of the system by deliberately living in the crevasses. This is the true benefit of working together” Koranteng added.
EOCO’s role
The Economic and Organized Crime Office established by the Economic and Organized Crime Office Act, 2010 (Act 804) is a specialized agency to monitor and investigate economic crimes and on the authority of the Attorney-General prosecute these offences to recover the proceeds of crime and provide for related matters.
“It has as part of its mission; detecting, investigating, preventing and prosecuting all serious economic and organized crimes in Ghana. The non-payment of royalties offends the law.
“There are instances where some of the practices of companies in the mining sector border on clear attempts to evade their payment obligation through very complex schemes.
“What EOCO further brings to the Inter- agency is a law enforcement muscle and also the ability to detect and investigate these practices” Koranteng said.
The Executive Director of EOCO, COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah stated that, “EOCO has a mandate to investigate crimes and prevent the occurrence of same”.
“To be able to do this we need to better understand the mining sector to enable a full deployment of our resources, collect and package evidence professionally and to protect data collected.
“This is what we bring to the Inter Agency Framework”. We are excited to be part of an all-government collaboration.” The EOCO boss said.
About MIIF
MIIF is a sovereign minerals fund mandated by the Minerals Income Investment Fund Act 2018, (Act 978) as amended, to maximize the value of dividend and royalties’ income accruing to the Republic of Ghana in a beneficial, accountable and sustainable manner and to monetize Ghana’s mineral wealth in a manner which would bring long term value to Ghana.
MIIF also has 100% ownership of Agyapa Royalties Company, the only state-owned gold royalties company in Africa. MIIF has plans to list Agyapa on the London Stock Exchange and the Ghana Stock Exchange.
MIIF has invested in the Toronto, Frankfurt and now Ghana listed Asante Gold Corporation which has just opened the lucrative Bibiani gold mine and is on the verge of acquiring the Kinross Chirano gold mine in Ghana.
The acquisition will create one of the largest gold mining companies in West Africa. MIIF is also planning to invest in lithium and other upcoming gold projects.
The ongoing prosecution of former and current government officials has “vindicated” President Nana Akufo-commitment Addo to fighting corruption.
According to him, legislation to enhance the legal framework for dealing with corrupt activities, such as the CHRAJ, EOCO, and the Judiciary, is a strong sign of the government’s and his own desire to combat corruption.
President Nana Akufo-Addo made these statements in an interview on Otec FM’s morning show “Nyansapo” hosted by Captain Koda, in Kumasi, on Monday, October 17, 2022.
He stated that he has not hesitated to back the Attorney-General to prosecute any person where there is evidence like in the case of the former head of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), Adjenim Boateng.
“There are a whole lot of prosecutions going on of people of the past government and even of this government. The former head of the Public Procurement Authority is on trial today for acts of corruption in my time,” the president noted.
“There is also a whole lot of legislation to strengthen the legal framework for dealingwith the acts of corruption. All the corruption institutions like the police, the CHRAJ, the EOCO, and the Judiciary among others have been strengthened,” he added.
He mentioned that the creation and works of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) have also given him hope in the quest to reduce corruption in the country.
“Kissi Agyebeng is doing very in that office. He is not a direct government or party member but somebody who has the courage to strike where he has to strike, irrespective of the person’s party affiliation,” he eugolized.
The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) yesterday repatriated 21 Nigerian youth who were rescued from a group of Nigerian human traffickers that was operating in the country.
The rescued youth, aged between 15 and 20 years, were picked up by EOCO last month during a swoop to arrest some people allegedly involved in cyber crime.
However, after investigations, it was established that they were rather victims of human trafficking going on in the country, hence the decision by EOCO to send them back to their country.
At a press conference, the Deputy Executive Director in charge of Operations at EOCO, Nana Antwi, said the arrangement for the repatriation exercise was a collaborative work among EOCO, an NGO and the Nigerian High Commission.
The swoop
He disclosed that the swoop was organised on September 26 through an intelligence-led operation at a location in Accra.
The victims and seven suspects, he said, were picked up in a house where all the Nigerians had been housed by the suspected human traffickers and were being trained in Internet cyber fraud.
Relating what had happened, Nana Antwi said: “On that day, 28 people were arrested. We had the firm conviction that the arrest covered both the victims and the organisers of the trafficking. Subsequent investigative processes revealed that, in actual fact, of the number, 28 young males whose ages were not above 20 years were trafficked from Nigeria and brought to Ghana, housed, given computers and other accessories and were being trained on how to conduct criminal activity with the gadgets.”
The seven suspects, he said, had since October 3 been put before court to answer charges related to the crimes of which they had been accused.
“As a result of the sorting and critical analysis, we found it prudent to separate the victims from the suspects,” he said.
Security Agencies support
Nana Antwi commended the security agencies whose support led to the successful operation and subsequent deportation of the victims.
“In fact, an hour from now, they will start the journey towards their home country, Nigeria. There has been close collaboration with the Nigerian anti-human trafficking authorities and other relevant agencies.
“The Ghana Immigration Service too is in this exercise and all local related agencies are also involved, just as our police counterparts who gave us a very good backing during the September 26 operation,” he said.
Numerous enterprises are functioning without Business Operating Permits in the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) region, according to the Executive Director, COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah.
She stated that EOCO will work with the AMA to resolve this issue.
When she led a group on a working visit to Elizabeth Sackey, the mayor of Accra, Madam Tiwaa Addo Danquah made these remarks.
She disclosed that her outfit decided to set up its Accra region to concentrate on the activities of various Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies and support them to increase revenue.
“There are a lot of things we bring to the table when it comes to the activities you do, there are a lot of fees and rates people don’t want to pay and we are here as a state organization to help you collect them, also our presence here is to let you know what we bring to the table and how we can support you to achieve your mandate to develop the Accra we want,” she said.
”We were in the Upper East and the MCE told us that those who were supposed to pay their rates and fees to the Assembly had done so by an invitation from EOCO… Together they have improved on their revenue collection and we want to extend that same collaboration to the AMA… There are a lot of businesses operating within your area of jurisdiction who have no Business Operating Permit from the Assembly and these are things that we will work on together,” she added.
The AMA boss who received the entourage to her office expressed concerns over the inability to generate enough revenue due to leakages adding that the Assembly was in the process of digitalising its revenue collection system to check revenue leakages and increase its Internally Generated Funds (IGF).
She said the Assembly was ready to work with EOCO to help address issues such as the issuance of fake tickets among other financial malpractices to increase revenue.
“We are ready to work together, we need your support in many areas and we are happy to have you, Our revenue is not flowing the way it should,” she said.
She assured the EOCO team of her offices’ resolve to work together to increase the Assembly’s revenue base.
The Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Mrs. Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Dankwa has said her office has been working to retrieve misappropriated money captured in the Auditor General’s report.
The EOCO director was speaking at the office of the Savannah regional coordinating council as part of her working visit to the region.
Mrs. Tiwaa said it was part of their mandate to investigate and where possible retrieve monies lost as reported by the Auditor General.
“When you look at the Auditor General’s report, every year when it comes out, we don’t let it go like that. We take it district by district, item by item, and we look at how we can recover some of the issues raised in the Auditor General’s report.”
COP Tiwaa said her outfit also investigates and prosecutes, on behalf of the Attorney General, people identified by the Auditor General to have committed offences.
“Where we need to investigate further, we will. Those we can recover for government, we will. These are ways we can work together for our mutual benefit.”
COP Tiwaa also a former director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service told female police to give out their best to justify more females to be taken into the service.
She said females currently make up 29% of the Ghana Police Service and said, if the females work hard enough, the service will have a reason to take more to meet the United Nations ratio of 40%.
The Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Commissioner of Police (COP) Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, and five others have donated GH¢30,000 and some relief items to the Ark Foundation.
The donation was part of their birthday celebration on Friday, August 19 and a form of benevolence to society.

They were accompanied by their family members, friends and some members of staff ofEOCO.
Donation
Mrs Addo-Danquah said the donation was an activity which the group undertook often to celebrate their birthdays with the less-privileged, while giving back to society.
She said the selection of the foundation for the donation was because of the support it gave the Police Service and EOCO in their workshops, training and, most importantly, ensuring that the lives of women and girls were protected from all forms of abuse.
Speaking on behalf of the group, DCOP Gariba said: “It is always fulfilling to give back to society, and with the symbiotic relationship we have with the foundation these past years, we felt the need to celebrate this special day of ours by giving a little to help in its operations.â€
He commended the foundation for the sacrifice and support it gave the neglected and battered in society and prayed for a continual partnership with the foundation as its vision came to fruition.
Gratitude
The Executive Director of the Ark Foundation, Angela Dwamena-Aboagye, expressed her gratitude to the group for donating the items to help address the needs of the foundation.
She described the needs of some survivors in the shelter as basic necessities, from slippers to jobs, saying the donation “goes a long way in delivering some of these necessities to our survivorsâ€.
Mrs Dwamena-Aboagye said since the inception of the foundation 23 years ago, the security and medical agencies had remained a core partner to its operations, saying supporting both professionally and socially was important and called for the support of stakeholders, individuals and corporate organisations.
The meeting afforded ACFE the opportunity to familiarize itself with the functions of EOCO in order to establish ties for collaboration in fighting fraud

A Nigerian criminal syndicate led by one Sunny Anwamini (Sam), has been busted by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) for defrauding a Ukrainian businessman to the tune of $6.5 million.
The suspect, Sunny, 52, was apprehended on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, by EOCO in an intelligence-led operation in partnership with the state National Security.
According to sources at EOCO, the suspect met his victim (Mazen Farakh), in December 2018 in Ghana during which the latter expressed interest in purchasing expensive wood pieces known as “Teak.â€
Sam, after receiving the sum of $6.5 million from the Ukrainian businessman, sent photographs of fake pallets of teak stored in custom bonded warehouses to him and promised to get the goods delivered in Ukraine.
However, Mazen Farakh in his statement at the EOCO, disclosed that for over three (3) years, Sunny failed to deliver containers of the products as stated in their agreement.
On March 27, 2022, Sunny was arrested by police personnel from the Ghana Police Headquartersin Accra but was later released after a brief detention.
A case in point was when one Kofi Karikari, a police officer with the Accra Regional Police Command, was seen openly providing escort for Sunny in very suspicious circumstances.
Meanwhile, Mazen Farakh wants to recover his $6.5 million from the Nigerian criminal syndicate and is therefore appealing to the powers that be to ensure that Sunny Anwamini is made to face the full rigors of the law.
The Ukrainian businessman and his partners have expressed worry over the present state of affairs in relation to the country’s justice delivery system, calling on authorities to ensure that Sunny is made to face justice in a manner that will make him recover his money from the Nigerian criminal syndicate.
For this reason, the Ukrainian businessman is currently in the country to ensure that Sunny is brought to book.

This follows her appointment by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to replace Steve Raymond Dapaa-Addo, who was appointed as Director-General of EOCO on July 9, 2021.
COP Addo-Danquah recently served as the Director-General of the Police Professional and Standards Bureau.
COP Addo-Danquah is a Chartered Accountant and a Chartered Forensic Accountant.
She holds a Master of Business Administration (Finance Option) Degree from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana and was the Director of Commercial Crime Unit of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for more than three years as well as the Director of CID Trainings for three years.

EOCO said it had in recent times received a number of complaints from salaried workers, who had fallen victims to these individuals.
A statement issued in Accra, and signed by Madam Faustina Lartey, Head of Public Relations on behalf of the Executive Director, EOCO said these scammers were attempting to take advantage of people who may be struggling financially.
It said these “unscrupulous†individuals called and sent text messages promising loans at affordable rates and promising to coach individuals to secure loans for a fee.
On the mode of operation, the statement said these scammers called and persuaded salaried workers to secure loans or propose to assist them to secure loans.
It said this was done in the hope of retrieving their locked up funds at the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD).
“These unscrupulous individuals pose as staff of (CAGD), thus, assure unsuspecting victims that they can secure a loan from any financial institution,†it said.
It also told their victims the amount of money to procure after checking their affordability.
“This is supposed to help ease the process of retrieving the locked-up funds owned by the victim,” it said.
The statement said the scammer would promise that the CAGD would pay the lump sum to the financial institution where the loan was acquired so that after the loan was secured the scammer would take a percentage of the total sum.
It said in other instances, they persuaded salaried workers and took their passport pictures and identity cards with the hope of securing the loan on their behalf.
“The worker receives the loan, pays the agreed percentage to the scammer, but ends up paying double the amount that was previously agreed on,” it said.
It said once the victim realised they had been scammed, all efforts to reach the scammer proved futile.
EOCO said there were many red flags that salaried workers should be on the lookout for, including but not limited to: a demand for payment upfront or after, instructions to submit personal details to a third party, persistent calls, messages to convince you to go for a loan.
It urged workers to contact the financial institution directly, make enquiries and request the loan amounts they needed.
Salaried workers should also contact their institution or company’s Finance Department for information about their eligibility for loans and other requirements.
“Work with a legitimate, licensed and qualified person or company. If you have any locked-up funds with Controller and Accountant General’s Department, write to them through your institution to request for your money,” it added.
The statement advised workers not to under any circumstance engage an unknown third party to retrieve unpaid or locked up salaries with CAGD and they should not hand over their personal details, staff ID numbers and passwords to third parties.
It said EOCO in line with its mandate to prevent and detect organised crime would continue to monitor these developments with the aim to ensure that citizens are protected from scammers and fraudsters.
An alleged baby trafficking syndicate has been again busted by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) and the Medical and Dental Council after thorough investigations
According to the Executive Director of EOCO, COP Frank Adu Poku (Rtd), the buying and selling of babies has been on the radar of the crime office for the past three months and has so far resulted in the arrest of four more persons involved in baby harvesting.
According to Mr Frank Adu Poku, they currently have in their custody three babies, all safe and healthy in a foster home pending a final determination of the cases.
He explained that, in February 2020, their outfit received information that two women had allegedly gone to purchase a baby from Susan Clinic located at Lartebiokorshie in Accra.
The women, Florence Acquah, and Eleanor Ofori Nsiah together with the one Dr Hope Quarshie Mensah of Susan Clinic were all arrested.
Subsequently, Dr Noah Kofi and Nancy Obayaa Lartey who were also engaged in baby harvesting at Tema General Hospital have been arrested and are currently on EOCO enquiry bail.
COP Frank Adu Poku (Rtd) also indicated that, as a result of the ongoing investigations on the Baby Harvesting, they have so far received four petitions from victims which one of them is a banker, who in 2016 was rushed to 37 Military Hospital as a result of pregnancy complications.
One Dr Hope Mensah referred her to his private facility due to no bed but upon delivery, the Dr later told her the baby could not make it but she heard the baby cry.
He, therefore, cautioned some faceless cowards who are issuing threats to EOCO and Medical and Dental Council officials that, they are not relenting on preventing organized crimes.
One of the medical doctors arrested by the Economic and Organised Crime Office in connection with a recent crackdown on a baby-harvesting and human trafficking syndicate has admitted to selling more than 12 babies over the period.
This was revealed by the Executive Director for EOCO, Commissioner of Police Frank Adu-Poku (Rtd) in an interview with Accra-based Adom FM monitored by GhanaWeb, stated that his outfit’s collaborative investigation with the Ghana Medical and Dental Council has led to the unravelling of many secrets including the confession by the doctor.
“During our investigations and during the process, one of the doctors told us that he has sold about 12 babies. This tells us what is happening in our hospitals,†he stated.
Whiles failing to give further details on the revelation, COP Adu-Poku urged mothers to be vigilant especially during and after labour.
“Women should be vigilant when they are about to deliver because the moment you refuse to pay attention or a family member stops paying attention, it may become problematic,†he added.
Last week, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and the Ghana Medical and Dental Council through collaborative efforts arrested 11 people suspected to be involved in the harvesting of babies and human trafficking in some health facilities in the Greater Accra Region.
The suspects include two medical doctors, four nurses, two mothers, two social welfare officers and a traditional birth attendant.
The suspects during the operation sold two baby boys for a combined price of GHS 58,000 with one being sold for GH¢ 30,000.00 and the other GH¢ 28,000.00.
The Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Frank Adu-Poku has provided harrowing details into the activities of a syndicate involved in a baby harvesting and child trafficking.
The syndicate was busted on December 31, 2020 after EOCO in collaboration with the Medical and Dental Council conducted investigations into the alleged activities from the period of June and November 2020.
The joint effort led to the arrest of Dr. Hope Mensah Quashie of the 37 Military Hospital who also operated a private health facility, Susan Clinic in Laterbiokoshie-Accra and one Dr. Noah Kofi Lartey, a medical practitioner with the Obstetrician and Gynaecology Department of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Ridge, who also operates a private hospital known as the Dangbe Community Hospital in Prampram.
The EOCO director, speaking to Accra-based Citi FM on Thursday January 21, revealed that “one of the mothers who was arrested told her family the baby was dead and received GH¢8,000.â€
He further revealed that a second person involved in a similar trade was a 17-year-old who delivered a pre-term baby. Frank Adu-Poku added that officials of the facility who were also social welfare workers decided to trade off the baby.
So far, 11 persons including two doctors have been arrested in connection with their involvement with the baby harvesting and human trafficking syndicate.
The umbrella body of doctors in Ghana, the Medical and Dental Council has since withdrawn the licenses of the two doctors pending their arrest and further investigations into the matter.
The other accused and arrested persons who have all been named as accomplices in the crime are Sylvia Awuseh, John Adorey Effie, Dede Gifty Anikpi and Angela Ametepe.
A thorough investigation conducted by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) has exonerated the former Vice-Chancellor of UEW, Prof. Mawutor Avoke and his Finance officer, Dr. Theophilus Ackorlie Senyo of any wrongdoings, according to Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
He has therefore written to the Governing Council of the University of Education (UEW), calling on them to consider implementing the recommendations proposed by the EOCO report and ensure that justice is served.
“I have read in detail the report of EOCO and its appears regrettably that Rev. Fr. Prof. Afful-Broni who was the lead complainant of the Procurement irregularities and persistently urged my office to pursue same was indicted while his Boss, Prof. Mawutor Avoke and the Finance Officer, Dr Theophilous Senyo Ackorlie were completely exonerated of any wrongdoing” portions of his letter read.
