Speaking on his show, The Blakk Pot, on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, the 3FM host claimed that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) picked up the socialite in connection with an ongoing investigation.
“Dr Sledge's wife, Amadia, Nana Ama, was arrested today at the Ghana International Airport. EOCO picked her up in connection with a separate investigation. I want to believe this investigation is related to Dr Sledge, abetment of crime,” he said.
Blakk Rasta said it was unclear if her arrest was connected to her husband’s legal woes, but he was glad and said that she should face the full rigours of the law if found guilty.
“In good times, they were flaunting alleged stolen money; now it's time to face real justice. EOCO has gone into action. Our prayer has always been the same: if she is guilty, let her suffer for the pain she has caused individuals. If she is not guilty but innocent, let her walk free,” he added.
Dr Sledge’s woes deepen amid investigations
According to Blakk Rasta, Dr Sledge is under investigation by the EOCO and previously by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) for alleged corrupt gold deals tied to the erstwhile NPP government’s gold for oil program.
“He was pinpointed for a $94million corruption-related offence. The allegations centre on transactions with MIF between 2020 and 2024, specifically within the government's gold for oil and gold for forex programs.
“The OSP alleges that the state lost over 94 million U.S. dollars due to Gold Ridge Refinery Limited's failure to honour trade settlements and the MIF-backed initiatives,” Blakk Rasta said.
He detailed how the OSP’s prosecution failed after a brief arrest. Dr Sledge was released, after which he threw a party and gifted his wife an expensive Rolls-Royce. Blakk Rasta expressed confidence in EOCO to successfully prosecute the case.
