Richie Oscar, a confidant of former GIHOC CEO Maxwell Kofi Jumah and a leading member of the New Patriotic Party in the Asokwa Constituency, has commented on reports of a raid by the Economic and Organised Crime Office on Jumah’s residence. A video shared by TV3 Ghana on April 14, 2026, showed the house in disarray, with rooms ransacked and door locks damaged. Oscar described the damage, stating that officers allegedly started by damaging the door and then searched all rooms, taking away CCTV equipment, documents, and keys. He further alleged that force was used to access some areas, with an officer reportedly breaking down a door with his leg. The incident occurred at Jumah's home in Atonsu in the Ashanti Region while he was absent, according to Paul Yandoh, the NPP’s Ashanti Regional Director of Communications. Jumah, a former appointee under the NPP administration, served as Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries Company Limited, and his tenure is reportedly under scrutiny as part of investigations into alleged financial irregularities and procurement breaches in state-owned enterprises.
