It has emerged that indeed, embattled Chief Executive Officer of Ideal Finance, Nii Kotei Dzani was arrested by officials of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) and officers from the Ghana Police Service.
The confirmation comes from no mean a source, than the EOCO Boss himself, Mr. Adu Poku, after Dr. Nii Kotei Dzani and his Ideal Finance Group denied reports in a statement that he had not been arrested.
Dr. Kotei Dzani is being investigated for allegedly misappropriating funds of his customers, running into several hundreds of Millions of Ghanan Cedis.
The EOCO Boss speaking on Accra based Citi Fm and monitored by BestNewsGH.com stated emphatically that Nii Kotei Dzani who is also a member of the Council of State was arrested and stripped to his boxer shorts and taken through processes just like pertains in the case of all suspects.
BestNewsGH.com reports the EOCO Boss as saying that “He [Dzani] can decide to say it [deny the arrest] but we [EOCO] are saying that he was arrested, the records are there, there was a bail condition that was given, so if you are claiming that you were [not arrested, the records are there], he was taken to the police station [Ministries], he was virtually naked, and was just about being put into the cells.’’
He continued that “Kotei Dzani went through the process where when suspects are arrested, their clothes are taken off, stripped virtually naked and asked to wear only boxer shorts and then thrown into cells … I was not there, but I believe whether boxer shorts or pants or whatever, [he was going to be thrown into the cells], of course, yes.” We decided to give him the benefit of the doubt so that the following morning, he will come and then legalise whatever”.
