The Founder and Leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo, has been picked up by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to assist in investigations.
Mr. Akpaloo was arrested on Tuesday, September 3, at Daaban in Kumasi by operatives from EOCO’s Special Asset Recovery Unit (SARU).
Sources close to the development say the investigation is linked to a 2018 contract worth $1,919,750.82, allegedly issued to Mr. Akpaloo and his wife.
Details of the contract and the specific nature of the alleged irregularities remain unclear, but EOCO officials are said to be probing possible breaches related to financial transactions.
Officials have yet to issue an official statement, but the arrest has generated widespread attention due to Mr. Akpaloo’s role as the leader of a registered political party.
