The Upper East regional branch of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) has invited Mr Peter Mahama, a senior brother of former President John Dramani Mahama to furnish it with all documents covering his quarry business.
Credible information gathered by The aL-hAJJ indicate that the state investigative body has tasked Mr Peter Mahama to make available all documents on the quarry by 10: am on Thursday, April 11, 2017.
Though the former President’s senior brother’s quarry is located at Arigo in the Walewale district of the Northern region, the invitation was issued by Upper East regional branch of EOCO.
Confirming the invitation to this paper, a source close to the former President’s brother said, Mr Peter Mahama has been asked to supply all documents on his tax payments, workers’ SSNIT contributions and contracts executed by his company so far.
Mr Peter Mahama joins the long list of persons closer to the outgone NDC administration, who are on daily basis being invited by the EOCO to “help” in investigations. There is however, growing concern among Ghanaians over how the Akufo-Addo government since taking office, has been harassing the Mahama family and persons closed to his administration.
Sources at seat of government say Mr Peter Mahama’s invitation is part of the Akufo-Addo government’s elaborate agenda to go “fishing” for evidence in order to nail associates of the former president.
The state spy agency has for some time now been on the neck of a junior brother of Mr John Mahama and Chief Executive of Engineers and Planners, Mr Ibrahim Mahama over nonpayment of port duties on equipment imported by two of his companies.
Before he could comply with EOCO’s directive to pay all arrears owed the state, SSNIT also issued a writ at an Accra circuit against Mr Ibrahim Mahama himself, his company E&P, and one of his Directors, Suleiman Ahmed Aminu. But he has again paid all the arrears owed SSNIT.
Early this year, The aL-hAJJ revealed how the Akufo-Addo government was aggressively shopping for “evidence” to nail family members and associates of immediate past President, Mr John Dramani Mahama.
Government, the paper reported, had tasked the various state intelligence agencies, particularly EOCO to conduct forensic investigations into business activities of some persons with links to the former first family.
So far, EOCO, according to pro-NPP media house, Daily Guide, has invited some persons close to former President Mahama including Ali Seidu, Seidu Agongo, Kofi Job, Dr Stephen Opuni and Ibrahim Mahama. As at press time yesterday, the state spy agency has also invited former Chief Executive of MASLOC, Mrs Sedinam Tamkloe Attionu for questioning.
Mr Peter Mahama, The aL-hAJJ has gathered, adds to the tall list of associates and appointees of Mr Mahama the Akufo-Addo government has earmarked for investigation by EOCO and other state agencies.

If you don't want fire to burn you then don't go too close. I hope the high court is preparing dockets to jail political Robbery bastards. Rule of law is the moto of Nana. If Nana refuse to apply then 2020 is a dream.
please the last time i did check 11th April 2017 is Tuesday thank you
According to the paper he is to report to EOCO on Thursday April 11, 2017.... This date has already past anyway. Who is buying this Al-Hajj toilet paper?
What's wrong wit such invitations if indeed the spy agency has information when turns out to be credible like it occurred in Ibrahim's case where he had not paid import duties and SSNIT contributions of staff. Let's begin to think and act as Ghanaians rather than do the bidding of political parties. How I wish Ghanaian youth who are the future of this dear nation will rise up and clear all these kind of messy opinion leaders/journalist like the it happened in the Arab world during the uprising. ALHAJI BATURE, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.......PUT GHANA FIRTS AT ALL TIMES FOR WRONG IS ALWAYS WRONG WAI
i hope all will remember when the clock turns one day and will not say negative things. whats good for the goose is good for the gander. i rest
WHEN WILL ALHAJI BATURE BECOME A JOURNALIST? I DOUBT WHETHER HE HAS CREDIBLE JOURNALISM CERTIFICATE. EOCO MUST INVITE ALHAJI BATURE AND CHECK HIS CERTIFICATE AND MODUS OPERANDI. HE'S A NATION'S WRECKER. IF CERTAIN PERSONS HAVE INDULGED IN DODGY DEALS AND ARE BEING QUESTIONED WHATS WRONG WITH THAT? YOU CAN PAINT IT THE WAY YOU WANT ALHAJI BUT GHANAIANS ARE FAR MORE DISCERNED NOW AND HATE YOUR TRICKS. LEARN TO RESPECT RULE OF LAW, YOU MAG.G.OT
Bature so what? If they're invited and have done nothing wrong, they only have to prove they've done nothing wrong and that's all say that's all. When Ibrahim was invited and it was proven he swindled the GRA hasn't he made good his cheques that bounced for over a year and still didn't bother to rectify the anomaly because his brother was the President of Ghana. Can you in your good sense of mind fathom such a crass behaviour. I say again GELALAHE
Bature, What is your point? These individuals have not denied any of the charges so what is your beef?? Dustbin so called journalism Tweaaaaaaa Why is PeaceFm carrying your news koraa? Other discerning media houses treat this newspaper with the contempt it deserves. I actually do not waste my time to read it. I just look at the headline and read your biased conclusion. Not worth my time
Well, if you don't burn charcoal your hands doesn't get black, if he has a question to answer why not invite him, why are so concerned about Mahamas brothers being questioned that should tell there are things questions that needs to be answered by them.
how many ghanaians are concerned that such armed robber family of mahama are been asked to refund the stolen monies. ain't you happy that thru kennedy agyapong ghana is now richer by 12 million ghana cedis?
