Ibrahim Mahama, brother of former President John Dramani Mahama has been picked up by the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO).
Information gathered by Starrfmonline.com indicate that Mr. Mahama was picked up to answer questions over some dud cheques he issued to the Customs division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at the Tema Port to clear some heavy duty equipment he had imported.
It is, however, not known if the businessman was also questioned on some allegations of fraud leveled against him by Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyepong.
Hon. Agyepong had alleged on Oman FM in March this year that the younger brother of former President Mahama defrauded the state of almost 14million cedis.
The maverick politician accused Mr. Mahama of taking advantage of the position of his brother and perpetuating criminal activities against the state.

I don't know the kind of brain some have, what has crime got to do with ethnicity? There are criminal elements in every tribe in Ghana. Its OK to comment on issues but its important that we do so with common sense. I'm certain that "Tony the bull" has ***barred word***'s and other deviant characters in his family and tribe, no matter the tribe/ethnic group he comes from, so Tony stop your ethnocentric comments. Do proper analysis and stop the prejudice, if not your comments will be discounted as a loud scream of an ignoramus. I greet you all
THIS IS GHANA WHERE MONEY REPLACE JUSTICE.EOCO OR BNI I DO NOT TRUST OOOO,, NEITHER INDEPENDENT PROSECUTOR.GOD IS JUST WATCHING US. EITHER WE LIVE TO SEE OR WE SEE TO LIVE, WE ARE ALL LIVING. LET THE RULE OF LAW WORKS NOW
you see the reason why H.E. Nana Akuffo Addo wants an independent prosecutor, so that some ***barred word*** issues like this will be dealt with without compassion or favour
IF ITIS TRUE HE USED BOUNCED CHEQUE TO CLEAR HIS IMPORTED GOODS AT THE PORT, HE SHOULD FACE THE LAW
Is Ibrahim above the laws of this country if he is guilty of the offense,elsewhere tax invasion is a serious crime, irrespective of who you are, what happened to Sevio Berlesconi, but we stu.piiiid people who will always defend and fight for corruptttttt criminalssss,even with their blood, and come back to blame government for non performance, where do you expect the government to find money for development projects, pull hairs from the nostrillllls and turn it money
No mercy for rhe cripple....we need the independent prosecutor now !!!
The questions to be answered: Did you write cheques to the govt for duty and clearance at Tema Harbor that bounced? After they bounced, did you make any attempts to rectify the situation or you still owe the harbor and customs? Did you defraud the state in your attempt to take somebody's land in Tema and did a high court order you to return that piece of land to that person? These are just 1 or 2 of the many questions you will be asked. Take your lawyer with you and simply answer the questions. No fears. The burden of proof is on the state and the accuser. In the meanwhile, anyone who has evidence that Hon Kennedy Adjapong has been involved in any illicit business activities must go to EOCO to report with his or her proof. The bounced cheques are there as evidence. Take your evidence too. Government money belongs to us all. We must endeavor to protect it.
@apuu, your IQ is obviously very low.
You see the hypocrisy of the npp? why is ken gyapong who is leading this crusade not being question? Ken agyapong can boast of owning this and owning that but no body cares how he made that money. Ibrahim Mahama is a man of his own. his wealth is not through cocaine deals, ken agyapong who thinks he is the richest person in Ghana can go hell
Massa; I do not understand why some Ghanaians seem to have HYPOCRACY as an EBola trait in their DNA ; the question is did Ibrahim Mahama import goods into the country ; did he invade taxes and issued a dud cheque to the Government of Ghana with the intention of avoiding paying duties into government coffers ; if the assertion is true by Ken Agyepong then EOCO has every right to invite this son of rattle snake or a thiff for further questioning ; because an intend to avoid taxes in Ghana is a krinminal offence besides this man Ibrahim Mahama was virtually in charge of the army when his brother Jon Mahama was in charge ;we are also told this guy is so rich and have being blessed by God ; owns a private jet ; owns loads of properties in Acra and abroad and very rich man indeed ; so the QUESTION IS WHY IN THE HELL DOES SUCH A RICH MAN with all the right connections in society expose himself to such a tax avoidance to atract attention to himself and his brother and family ; the fact is that the family of Jon Mahama including Alfred Mahama are krooked northners and a law unto themselves steeling lands and influencing people with money and including snaching people girlfrineds and wifves if they are beautiful and this Bature newspaper defends these kriminal gang family besides like the Woyome case typical NDC evil doers started defending Woyome when Ken Agyepong exposed this ewe thiff ; today it is the same story with this Mahama kriminal family ; the funny thing is that people claim Ibrahim Mahama have been blessed by God ;what TYPE OF GOD IS THAT THAT BLESSES BANDITS LIKE IBRAHIM MAHAME ;is it the christian GOd or the muslim God ; WONDERS SHALL NEVER END !!!!!
