Former EOCO Boss, Abdulai Bashiru Dapilah

Government sources have confirmed that Abdulai Bashiru Dapilah, who was appointed as Acting Executive Director of EOCO only a few months ago, has been reassigned to the National Security Secretariat as a Technical Advisor.

The move, which comes without an official explanation, has sparked fresh questions about leadership stability within Ghana’s key anti-corruption and financial crime institutions.

Stepping into his role is Raymond Archer, a respected investigative journalist known for his in-depth investigations into financial fraud and corruption.

Archer’s appointment as Acting Executive Director is expected to inject new energy into EOCO at a time when its work is critical in the fight against economic and organized crime in Ghana.

While many welcome Archer’s bold and analytical style, the sudden reassignment of Mr. Dapilah has drawn attention.

The government has yet to release a formal statement on the reasons behind the change, but sources hint at broader leadership realignments within national security structures.
