"We Spoke Out Of Anger, We Cannot Rub Shoulders With EOCO" - Chamber of Automobile Dealership Ghana

General Secretary of the Chamber of Automobile Dealership Ghana (CHADG), George Dumenu has rendered an apology to the Executive Director of Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Maame Tiwaa Addo-Danquah over threats made following the seizure of their cars months ago.

According to Mr. Dumenu, his members spoke out of anger and thus cannot rub shoulders with EOCO.

In an interview with Thinknewsonline.com on the back of the seizure of their cars, Mr. Dumenu said "We were unhappy about how our vehicles seized. No one will be happy if such a thing is done to him or her. That is why we reacted in that manner"

"We spoke out of anger, we cannot rub shoulders with EOCO"

It will be recalled the leadership of Chamber of Automobile Dealership Ghana held a press conference some months ago threatening to go hard on the Executive Director of Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Maame Tiwaa Addo-Danquah if their seized cars were not returned.

On the other hand, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in collaboration with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) carried out an intelligence-led operation for the retrieval of various specifications of luxury vehicles in the country.

The retrieved cars, according to EOCO, were suspected to have been stolen from the United States of America (USA) and Canada.

Head/Public Affairs, Faustina Lartey in a release said "On Friday December 9, 2022, thirty-seven (37) of such vehicles were retrieved from some garages in Accra during which ten (10) persons were arrested"

The release added that the suspects had since been questioned and granted enquiry bill.

EOCO has cautioned prospective vehicle buyers to conduct due diligence prior to the purchase of any vehicle.
