Sammy Gyamfi: Maurice Ampaw Tells National Security To Raid The House GoldBod Boss Over Dollar Gift

• Maurice Ampaw has got people talking online in the wake of the brouhaha surrounding Sammy Gyamfi's generosity
• The lawyer, while speaking on his show, called for the National Security to raid the house of the acting Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board
• Social media users who took to the comments section of the video have shared their views on the actions of Sammy Gyamfi

Private legal practitioner Maurice Ampaw has called for the National Security to search the house of the acting Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi.

Speaking on the Mmra Ne Abrabo Mu Nsem programme on Wontumi TV, a visibly incensed Maurice made the call about a viral video showing Gyamfi handing out dollars to Nana Agradaa, the former priestess turned evangelist.

Maurice Ampaw alleged that the open display of opulence by Sammy Gyamfi is clear evidence that the embattled CEO has millions of dollars stashed in his house, hence the need for National Security to intervene.

He also called for the accounts of Sammy Gyamfi to be frozen, adding that he should be suspended pending investigations.

"National Security by this time, if it was Chairman Wontumi, they would have raided his home. Go and raid Sammy Gyamfi’s house, because there are millions of dollars there."

Agradaa, on her part, has expressed readiness to return the $800, equivalent to GH¢10,000, that was given to her by Sammy Gyamfi as a gift.

Setting the record straight on the incident, Agradaa said that was the first time she was meeting the young politician and was even taken aback by the warm reception she received from him.

Sammy Gyamfi apologises

The embattled NDC stalwart, in a lengthy statement on Facebook on Sunday, May 11, 2025, rendered an apology to Ghanaians who took offence at his public display of opulence

“To clarify, this was simply a kind gesture to a fellow human being, in line with my daily and life-long custom of lending a helping hand to people in need. I sincerely thought that I was doing this act of kindness in private, and never imagined that same could find its way into the public space. That is unfortunate and regrettable.”

Sammy summoned by the Chief of Staff

Sammy Gyamfi was summoned and met with the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, over the decision by Sammy Gyamfi to hand out dollars to Agradaa.

Presidential correspondent for Media General, Komla Klutse, in a report on what transpired during the meeting, said his source at the meeting indicated that Sammy Gyamfi was very remorseful over the incident.

He said a decision on the actions of the GoldBod CEO will be taken and made known to Ghanaians in the next few days.

The Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) in an interview with TV3, it was stated that the move by Sammy Gyamfi to gift dollars to Agradaa is not in violation of the code of conduct that was launched by President John Mahama for appointees.
