Council of State member petitions Mahama for dismissal of EOCO Boss
The Volta Regional representative on the Council of State, Gabriel T.K.A Kwamigah-Atokple, has petitioned President John Dramani Mahama to remove the Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) Raymond Archer.
This was after he issued a stern and detailed account accusing the leadership of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) of abuse of power, defiance of a court ruling, and reputational harm.
The following day, November 20, 2025, EOCO escalated the matter by ordering the freezing of the company’s bank accounts, citing powers under the EOCO Act.
Financial institutions were directed to halt all withdrawals on the accounts pending the outcome of investigations.
Kwamigah-Atokple maintains that his company fully complied with all requests.
Legal representatives submitted the required documents with official acknowledgment receipts, while the company’s Managing Director appeared before EOCO on December 3, 2025, provided a written statement, and was interviewed by investigators.
According to Kwamigah-Atokple, the matter stems from a commercial gold supply agreement between Sesi-Edem Company Limited and JG Resources Ltd, covering June 2025 to June 2026.
He asserts that by November 2025, at least 58% of the contracted gold had already been delivered, a fact he says was acknowledged by the complainant and by EOCO itself during proceedings.
