Mahama removes Tiwaa Addo-Danquah from EOCO

YEN.com.gh reported in January that President John Mahama terminated Addo-Danquah's appointment as the Economic and Organised Crime Office’s Executive Director.

She was to be reassigned to the Ghana Police Service in a move to reinvigorate the agency and address public concerns over its efforts in high-profile financial crime cases.

The move to change Addo-Danquah's position came after some assailants stormed the Economic and Organised Crime Office in Accra and destroyed a bust in her honour.
