The Economic and Organised Crime Office has escalated its pursuit of a suspect identified as Joseph Owusu Badu, issuing a formal wanted notice for his arrest in relation to a rising wave of investment fraud.
While the agency has remained tight-lipped about the specifics of the case to avoid compromising the investigation, the public notice signals a significant breakthrough in tracing the flow of illicit funds.
EOCO often resorts to public appeals when a suspect evades initial attempts at contact, suggesting that Mr. Owusu Badu is currently at large and may be attempting to flee or conceal his assets.
Officials are now relying on the vigilance of the Ghanaian public to locate him.
EOCO is specifically appealing to anyone who may have had recent business dealings with the suspect or who may have been approached with suspicious investment opportunities to come forward.
How to Report:
Members of the public can provide anonymous or direct tips by visiting EOCO’s Accra headquarters (adjacent to the Old Parliament House on Barnes Road), reaching out to regional offices, or contacting their local police command.
As financial scams become increasingly sophisticated, authorities remind citizens to verify the legitimacy of investment schemes before committing funds.
Further updates regarding Mr. Owusu Badu’s arrest and the subsequent charges are expected as the manhunt intensifies.
