The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has dismissed reports that its officials ransacked a property belonging to Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, in Tema.
The Office explained that its officials, together with personnel from the Lands Commission, visited the property to undertake a professional valuation as part of the procedures for managing the asset.
According to EOCO, the property had previously been frozen by the Office, with the decision subsequently confirmed by a court last year.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Head of Corporate Affairs and Public Education said the visit was intended to facilitate the valuation process through the collection of the property's geographical coordinates and measurements.
The statement stressed that the exercise was completed in less than 10 minutes and proceeded without any incident.
EOCO urged the public to disregard what it described as false reports circulating in the media about the visit, insisting that the officials had conducted a routine professional assessment.
Earlier media reports had suggested that Chairman Wontumi's residence in Tema had been ransacked by EOCO officials.
