Captain Kofi calls out ex-President Nana Akufo-Addo

UT Bank was one of several banks whose licenses were revoked eight years ago as part of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's financial sector restructuring.

YEN.com.gh understands that despite having a personal relationship with former president Nana Akufo-Addo and former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, they allegedly refused to aid the captain's plea during UT Bank's financial crisis.

Prince Kofi attributes success to his divorce

YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that Prince Kofi Amoabeng, attributed the success of his bank to his divorce from his wife. Amoabeng explained that the separation gave him the time and focus needed to build his business, as he was no longer burdened by family responsibilities.

He shared that this "luckily" allowed him to devote more energy to his work, despite the challenges he faced transitioning from military to entrepreneurship. Amoabeng also revealed that his business commitments caused a disconnect with his children, as he was often away from home.
