Officials of the Global Agriculture Foundation, a tilapia farming company based in Ho with offices in Accra, are alleged to have gone underground to escape disappointed clients.
The company over the past few years had canvassed a profit sharing project from fish farming and collected moneys from clients but had been dodgy since.
Some clients told the GNA that the main doors of the Ho office were open daily but no official was available to talk to and that attempts to reach them on a telephone number displayed on the trap-door locked from inside had been futile.
Enquiries from people in offices in the neighbourhood and others hawking around indicated that the office is opened every day and closed by unknown persons.
The Chief Executive is a Mr Henry Gidi who told journalists at a programme at Kpeve-Tornu, along the Volta Lake, that the Foundation had been in collaboration with the Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Development Agency (GYEEDA) to train youth in fishing.
A Rev Emmanuel Worlanyo Afenu, Executive Secretary of the Foundation, told the GNA at that function that moneys collected from clients were safe.
Some clients told the GNA that officials just before shutting their phones had blamed GYEEDA for failing to pay the Foundation, resulting in its inability to discharge its obligations to them.
Some disappointed clients said they expected to be paid interest on the amounts of money they had contributed to the venture.
The former Minister of Food and Agriculture, Mr Kofi Humado, and Mr Abuga Pele, former Coordinator, GYEEDA visited the Foundation�s Kpeve-Tornu Tilapia farming base to perform some official functions in relation to the project.
