SFO targeted Nduom, Sowu - says ex-Exec Director

The Ghanaian Chronicle says its interactions with Mr Dominic DeGraft Aidoo, the former Acting Executive Director of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), over the last few weeks reveals that some of the more heinous aspects of the body was the destruction of certain individuals.

It said Dr Kwesi Nduom and Squadron Leader Clend Sowu, among the list, were hated by the Government and targeted by the small tribe of top Government officials who had the SFO under their thumb.

Sowu was targeted by the terror brigade controlled by Obed, Agama, Kwamena Ahwoi, Ato Dadzie, at the outset of investigations into the Keta Sea Defence affair.

Mr Degraft Aidoo revealed that President Rawlings personally gave him the assignment after sending for him to the Castle shortly after he concluded a probe in the A-Life matter, which was also hi-jacked from him by the former Vice President Prof. Atta-Mills.

Dr Kwesi Nduom is said to have been targeted when he steadfastly refused to join the NDC or accept a position even though the company he was associated with as an international partner, Deloitte and touch? Consulting, had a number of contracts with state-owned enterprises like Ghana Telecom, Volta River Authority and quasi Government companies like Ashanti Goldfields.

The perception of those in Government, Chronicle said, was that they had helped his company to make money and therefore angered them that Nduom was refusing to play ball with the NDC party.
