The Executive Director of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO), COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, has firmly denied allegations of threatening the family of security analyst Dr. Adam Bonaa.
Dr. Bonaa claimed that the EOCO chief had called his wife to issue threats, instructing her to tell him to stop mentioning her name in his public comments.
“She actually called my wife to threaten my wife, children, and me. I thought that for someone of her caliber who has been put in charge of a public office to do that, I found that very appalling and so I am going to make a formal complaint to the CID for her to be questioned,” Dr. Bonaa stated during an interview.
He alleged that the call was related to a petition he had sent to Parliament to investigate the halting of the Cecilia Dapaah case by the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
However, in a response, COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah refuted these claims. She explained that her call to Dr. Bonaa’s wife was not a threat but a plea to correct falsehoods being spread by Dr. Bonaa about her.
She clarified that the claim made by Dr. Bonaa on Oyerepa FM, alleging that she led a team to lobby for the IGP post, was false.
“I called the wife to plead to her conscience as a fellow woman because she wouldn’t be happy if the least opportunity that Bonaa gets he will lie about me,” she stated, according to starrfm.com.gh reports.
“I told her that all that he has said doesn’t mean anything to me. But if he doesn’t stop, I will pray. If she doesn’t call her husband to order, I will go on my knees and I will pray to my God and my God will listen and she the wife might become an innocent victim,” COP Addo-Danquah added.
She emphasized that she is ready to face Parliament during the probe into the Cecilia Dapaah petition and urged Dr. Bonaa to confront her directly instead of going to the media.
“Stop running to the media and face me,” she challenged.
