The simultaneous operation, which took place in Accra and Tamale, also led to the arrest of another unidentified individual believed to be connected to ongoing investigations into financial and procurement-related infractions at NAFCO.

Sources familiar with the operation said the arrests are part of EOCO’s efforts to clamp down on suspected economic crimes involving public officials.

EOCO is yet to issue an official statement on the arrests, but sources say the suspects are currently assisting with investigations.
