The Economic and Organized Crime Organization, EOCO has defrozen the Bank Accounts of Mr Daniel Ohene Agyekum, the immediate past chairman of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD).
Sources close to the EOCO says that the decision was communicated to the Banks by a letter dated March 17, 2017. The indications are that by this decision, EOCO is signaling that Mr Agyekum may not have serious questions to answer.
He was first invited to assist EOCO in its investigations into alleged financial maladministration in COCOBOD but was later informed that he would be charged with causing financial loss to the state.
Over the last three months, Mr Agyekum has been questioned on a number of occasions about the release of some money to the National Security Council to fight the smuggling of cocoa and inputs for cocoa farmers.
He was also questioned about the renovation of the residence of the Chief Executive of the Cocobod and the award of contracts for what has come to be known as cocoa roads. Mr. Agyekum has always insisted on his innocence and told investigators that Cocobod under his leadership was strictly governed by law and internal rules. Dr. Opuni, the Chief Executive of Cocobod is also currently under investigation over procurements.
Reports purported to be coming from EOCO have been widely published by a section of the media alleging impropriety on the part of Dr. Opuni. However these reports have not been confirmed or denied by the ECOCO.
It is not known whether Dr. Opuni's accounts have also been defrozen.

Eoco s3 de3n, you are mere crooks. Today you are here tomorrow you are there but we are not seeing results. Where has Opuni's case gotten to? Where has Mahama's other brothers case gotten to? Just recently, a guy issued dud checks and the "Court of Accepting Goat of Ghana" jailed him. NO wonder that Kennedy Agyepong is now joining the corrupt officials. Now, he only accept a mere 'I'm sorry" to let corrupt officials go scot free. I trusted Kennedy Agyapong but after watching him last two weeks i lost all the trust. He's now a selective vigilante Man. People are now luring him with mere Aky3wpa. YOu sit on public television and brag that a corrupt officials came to your house begging and you just kept quite on his case. You've been bragging with your stay in America and your American lifestyle. Not a mad American would do what you did. Accepting just a mere sorry (akyewpa) and kept mute? God would still have mercy after WE THE SILENT MAJORITY DEAL WITH YOU. We wont listen to our church leaders again. Keep watching You have police executives with guns, the military with guns etc BUT WE HAVE THE MASSES. Keep stealing
