A founding Member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has accused government of witch hunting Ibrahim Mahama after the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) invited the latter for questioning on Tuesday.
Mr. Mahama who is a brother to former president John Mahama was invited by EOCO for questioning over some dud cheques he issued to the Customs division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at the Tema Ports to clear some heavy duty equipment he imported into the country.
It can be recalled that the Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyepong alleged on Oman FM in March this year that Mahama defrauded the state some GHS14million. He thus pledged to commit suicide if the government did not incarcerate Mr. Mahama.
But it is, however, not clear whether EOCO interrogated Mr. Mahama on some of those allegations leveled against him but many including Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe believe his invitation was connected to the threat by the maverick NPP MP.
Speaking Wednesday in an interview with Starr News’ Ibrahim Alhassan, Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe declared that Mr. Mahama who happens to be his nephew is no fraud and the claim that he got richer during the administration of former President Mahama was inexplicable.
According to him, all businessmen do issue post-dated cheque and that was what Mr. Mahma did adding that there was nothing wrong with it.
Mr. Mahama, he added is not perturbed by the harassments from the EOCO noting that “Ibrahim [Mahama] will never fail.”
“He will never ever fail,” he emphasized.

WE THANK GOD THAT ALL THESE NKWASIAFOUR ARE NO LONG IN OUR BE LOVE PARTY,SE AGYIMFOUR LIKE THAT ARE STILL IN POST,I TELL YOU NDC WOULD HAVE FINISH GHANA.,SHAME MR
Stop posting unhealthy comments if you have nothing better to say. Why not all Ghanaians have got kleptomaniac ebola virus in their blood DNA? I'm from Akyem Oda and all the Ewes I know are great people! Lets embrace our diversity and culture. God Bless Nana Addo & Ghana
He's defending him because that's his nephew, born by his immediate younger sister. Unfortunately for us non-Anlos, when it comes to family we're not equal!
I know Dr. Nyaho to be one of the most principled statesmen in Ghana so I’m surprised at his comments. The guy used postdated personal/business checks (which were later returned) to pay duty at Tema port and Dr Nyaho is defending him? It’s been over a year now so why hasn’t he pay the money/duty to the state? Well, I will try to use post dated personal/business check to pay my duty the next time my vehicles arrive at Tema port. Two of 15 SUVs I imported to Ghana in 2015 were auctioned because I wasn’t able to pay the duty on time and the most annoying part was the cars were sold cheaper than the taxes I was supposed to pay. I thought we are all equal in Ghana.
Massa; I told you so some ewes have got kleptomaniac ebola virus in their blood DNA ; this Nyaho Tamakloe guy is another ewe master kriminally minded maggot who thinks and breaths kriminality all the time because as a patriotic Ghanaian how could you condone such acts by Ibrahim Mahama if it is true and claim to be a credble businessman in society ; signing dud cheques and clearing goods at night at the Tema harbour is a kriminal act but is these custom officers and security men who condone these acts ; this ewe kriminal should understand that Ibrahim Mahama was depriving every Ghanaian of medical treatment proper water etc by avoiding to pay these custom duties ; the worse part is that these ewe and northners people know some of our brothers sisters are involved in galamasey ; unemployment is high but then there are some people in society like Ibrahim Mahama who want to cheat Ghanaians and then claim that they have set up businesses and that God has blessed them ;WHAT KIND OF A GOD IS THAT WHICH BLESSES KRIMINALS LIKE IBRAHIM MAHAMA AND HIS BROTHER JON MAHAMA AND ALFRED MAHAMA ; IS IT A CHRISTIAN GOD OR A MUSLIM GOD ; this Ibrahim Mahama if proven in court to have defrauded the nation should be jail BRUTALLY to serve as a deterent to both NDC and NPP politicians ; now I hope people will believe Ken Agyepong when he comes out with these evil deeds by these kriminals be it NDC or NPP because people trust him more than anybody in Ghana ; most of the big custom Officers have big mansions that they built and rent them out in dollars by steeling from the ports ; Ken Agyepong is correct remove all these security agents at the port and replace them with the Delta and Invicible forces as security men at the port ; at least they will condone things to undermine Nana Addo because 'YOU DO ME I DO YOU'; and for some these ewes they should just button up and not speak again because they are vultures and maggots in society.
What do you expect him to say. Ibrahim is his nephew.
How long does it take a post dated cheque to clear? why cry witch hunt. if i happen to engage in such criminal activity and and i am called for questioning would you express the same sentiments. When his brother was the prez he had military and even snr police figures following him and he felt untouchable. he forgot the saying that time changes. Its now your time to face the music for all illegal criminal shady deals committed under your incompetent brother's regime......
I now understand why J J jailed you. Dud cheapest are excusable? Shame on you
was it a post dated cheque or a dud cheque?
