Arrest Akuffo Addo, Ken Ofori Atta, Edward Akuffo Addo, Gabby Otchere Darko-these Akyem Abuakwa LOOTERS.
The reign of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo may have long been over since January 7, 2025, but the very people who helped him during his 8 years in office may not all been enjoying their ‘retirements’ so well, or so quietly.
And this is for reasons aligned to promises and what appears to be a robust aim by the John Dramani Mahama government, which took over from the past one, to prosecute any forms of corruption that arose during the former administration.
These formed part of campaign promises by John Mahama and his National Democratic Congress (NDC), coming into the 2024 Election, and so far, they have been determined on achieving that.
Caught up in that, have been a number of appointees of Akufo-Addo who have ended up several investigations, or, in simple terms, whose names have been linked to controversial wealth that people believe may be, somehow, corruption related.
In this GhanaWeb article, let us take a look at some of the appointees under Akufo-Addo whose wealth came into question, generating national conversations.
In each of these cases, something happened that brought their cases into the public light, prompting national discussions and great interest.
Eugene Arhin
Eugene Arhin was the Director of Communications at the Presidency under Nana Akufo-Addo for the 8 years he was in office.
In 2021, a divorce case with his wife made it into the public, where his wife was demanding for certain reliefs in the separation process.
As part of the things she listed, she made mention of some of the properties owned by Eugene Arhin and these revelations, in the eyes of the public, generated a lot of conversations.
For many, did the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, amass all that in a space of four years, or during his time in public office?
Gloria Assan Arhin, his wife at the time, prayed the Accra High Court to grant her divorce request and also give her a number of properties, including a five-bedroom residential property (which was intended to be the matrimonial home of the parties) situated on a two-plot of land lying at East Legon in Accra; a four-storey building comprising 16 separate flats/apartments situated on a parcel of land at Bubiashie in Accra which land was acquired from a family friend of the petitioner.
She also asked for a storey building being constructed which comprised of 16 separate flats/apartments situated at Tuba-Weija in Accra.
These were but just three of the over twenty properties she sought after as part of the divorce.
Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (Sir John)
Sir John, a former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), became the Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission of Ghana until his death.
After his death, his will became public, generating another widespread conversation among Ghanaians. It involved a tall list of 75 properties, including houses, parcels of land, bank accounts, investments, businesses, guns and clothes.
His will also raised public concerns following the discovery that he owned lands at the Achimota Forest. This was also because President Akufo-Addo had, at the time, signed an Executive Instrument that said part of the Achimota Forest was no longer a forest reserve.
Critics said the move was a ploy to get the land into the hands of the ruling elite, an accusation the government vehemently denied.
Sir John’s ownership of parcels of lands at the Achimota Forest appeared to have heightened the deep-seated mistrust of the government and its actions.
Below are the properties as listed in the will of the late Sir John:
House on plot number GA54480 located in Ogbojo, East Legon, and acquired on February 12, 2018
House on plot number GA 55329 located at Oyarifa No. 2, acquired on May 11, 2018

Kwabena Adu-Boahene
The last person in this list of Akufo-Addo appointees whose wealth have courted public conversations is the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene.
He and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, were recently detained by the Attorney General’s office following his arrest at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
Following his detention, Attorney General Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine revealed at a press conference on Monday, March 24, 2025, a list of properties acquired by both suspects since 2018.
This, he said, was established through painstaking investigations by the EOCO and the AG’s office, indicating that the properties acquired were bought using embezzled state funds.
Below is a breakdown of the properties and their estimated values under the couple’s names below:
1. No. 2 stream part drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra which is estimated at $1,000,000 (valued at GH¢15,000,000)
2. No. 6 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra
3. No. 7 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra estimated at a value of $200,000

"GH¢39,462,480 went into Adu-Boahene and his wife's pockets from one transaction," the Attorney General said.

Never again should we vote any of his appointees to come to power.ENAA is mean,vindictive,divisive and corrupt and should be held accountable for Ghana's present economic woes.

Let me tell you what happened ALL GHANAIANS. Because of the economic mismanagement of the Ghana economy by Ken Ofori Atta and BAWUMIA, after they borrowed over $13 BILLION US DOLLARS, MOTHER GHANA DEFAULTED ON ITS INTERNATIONAL LOANS AND INTEREST PAYMENTS OBLIGATIONS. That WAS WHY Akuffo Addo and Ken Ofori Atta/ Bawumia WENT TO THE IMF/WORLD BANK CUP IN HANDS TO BEG FOR BUDGETARY SUPPORT. THEN 98 NPP MPs went to see President Akuffo Addo to remove Ken Ofori Atta as Finance Minister, but UGLY, LILIPUT, TANI Akuffo Addo refused to meet his own MPs. Former President Kuffour removed Osafo Marfo as Finance Minister when Osafo Marfo was under performing with Kwaku Baah Wiredu. The effect of the IMF/World Bank is the STEALING OF GHANA PENSIONERS SAVINGS, TREASURY BONDS etc BY FORCE BY AKUFFO ADDO AND KEN OFORI ATTA. Everybody pockets was AFFECTED. The prices of CEMENT, TRANSPORT, PETROL and everything WENT UP, AND UP.
DESPITE ALL THESE- THE AKYEM ABUAKWA PEOPLE-Akuffo Addo, Edward Akuffo Addo, Gabby Otchere Darko, Ken Ofori Atta etc LOOTED, AND LOOTED EVERYTHING, whilst they were STEALING POOR PENSIONERS MONEY ETC ETC.
The LIES that brought the LOSER DRIVERS MATE-BAWUMIA TO THE NPP FLAGBEARERSHIP WAS THAT-BECAUSE HE IS A NORTHERNER-IF HE STANDS WITH PRESIDENT MAHAMA- THE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA WOULD BE DIVIDED BETWEEN BAWUMIA AND PRESIDENT MAHAMA.

Kwabena Adu-Boahene
The last person in this list of Akufo-Addo appointees whose wealth have courted public conversations is the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene.
He and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, were recently detained by the Attorney General’s office following his arrest at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
Following his detention, Attorney General Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine revealed at a press conference on Monday, March 24, 2025, a list of properties acquired by both suspects since 2018.
This, he said, was established through painstaking investigations by the EOCO and the AG’s office, indicating that the properties acquired were bought using embezzled state funds.
Below is a breakdown of the properties and their estimated values under the couple’s names below:
1. No. 2 stream part drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra which is estimated at $1,000,000 (valued at GH¢15,000,000)
2. No. 6 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra
3. No. 7 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra estimated at a value of $200,000
4. No. 8 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra estimated at a value of $97,815
5. No. 9 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra also valued at $270,000
6. No. 10 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra at $150,000, Additionally, another initial cash deposit of $500,000 was made to purchase 5 houses.
7. Vertex properties at Oyarifa Gated Estate Development. This consists of 27 houses each valued at an estimated cost of $295,000 (GH¢127,000,000).
8. Two properties in London
The AG further disclosed that an amount of up to GH¢39 million was allegedly diverted and embezzled by the suspects from the agency.
"GH¢39,462,480 went into Adu-Boahene and his wife's pockets from one transaction," the Attorney General said.

With the repeal of the e-levy, betting tax and emission tax, it would be very difficult for npp to come to power again and not in the foreseeable future

Please enough of the blame game. It’s so painful and childish if I hear anyone blaming Akufo ADDO of all persons. Of course he is not perfect, so is everyone. Let’s face it, it is very criminal for anyone to ignore the many strong positive economic activities that the former government brought to Ghanaians, and wickedly isolate a few relative missteps and blame him or anyone. In reality if you want to blame then you must blame Ghanaians for their ignorant choices. Let me tell you this: No government will come close to Akufo Addo’s performance, whether past present or future. You can carry on with your dubious thinking but the world has recognized him already. Nothing can change it.

Exactly the reason why NPP can never be mended again. You cannot solve a problem if fail to acknowledge its existence. A party which does not know that resources are limited while human wants are unlimited. A party which does not understand prioritization and promised to do everything at the same time. A party which frowns on corruption yet protects its corrupt members. A party which which boasts of competent teams yet fails to listen to them. So if you cannot see anything wrong and you go about touting non existent achievements, you are doomed because Ghanaians are wiser.

Ungrateful people .You will cry for Akufo Addo very soon
Corrupt Old Man Akuffo Addo Was VERY CORRUPT AND MOST ARROGANT AND MOST NPPFUO WERE FOLLOWING JACK TORONTO FOOTSTEPS
THE MOST USELESS OLDMAN WHO NEVER GROSS IS AKUFO ADDO:
AKUFO ADDO IS BIG DISGRACE TO AGE- HE NEVER WANT TO GROW IN HIS CHARATER- LYING AT THIS HIS AGE:
THE BEST WAY IS BURN THEM- OUR COURT WILL ORDER THEIR RELEASE BY LAW:
WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT NPP LOSS!!!
GHANAIANS MUST BLAME THEMSELVES.
You don't need any poll to know this. He is the worst Ghanaian to have ever walked on the surface of the earth. The man is a disgrace to his family
Let's reflect again! Nana Addo has seriously created the economic mess we are facing today. He was corrupt and he allowed his people to behave corrupt. Even if they have the chance to come to power again, they will do same. T ...

It's an open secret. If we knew of the mess they created, we would have rewarded them with 21% instead of 38.2 FM
Your foolishness will take you to your grave.Akuffo Addo numbers still show him far ahead of P/NDC 27yrs rule. Time will tell.
Arrest Akuffo Addo, Ken Ofori Atta, Edward Akuffo Addo, Gabby Otchere Darko-these Akyem Abuakwa LOOTERS.
The reign of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo may have long been over since January 7, 2025, but the very people ...

The answer is quite obvious. He was the worst President ever in the history of our country. A very obnoxious evil oldman who should never have been given the opportunity to be President
Were you around in 1979 late JJ Rawlings said all the leaders he killed and imprisoned were Criminals. Years later it was found out that Rawlings was a VIOLENT THIEF. I don't want to describe John Mahama now.
ENAA pursued power for decades,to the extent that he followed Paa Willie's UNC to deny Victor Owusu victory. After running for president twice and failing he cunningly appealed
to Ghanaians to try him for the last time.Ghan ...

Nana Addo metie obiaa, Nana tititrinti, is the main cause of Npp defeat. Nana Addo is vintictive . He has destroyed Npp.
Short man devil. He is polishing his shoes to go and dance at Rock City Hotels. Kwahu oooo Kwahu
Bawumia is also partly to blame. He could have acted publicly in addressing some of the bad actions and inactions of Nana Addo.
I am also a Ghanaian. I have not said anywhere Akuffo Addo is responsible for NPP lost. So which Ghanaians are you referring to. I believe the Ghanaians you are referring to are those who voted for NDC in the year 2012 ,2016 ...
