Charles Adu Boahen, who has since been fired by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, revealed the depth of his role in the incident. He claimed that his interaction with investigators, who were dressed as businessmen, took place on February 8, 2018.
Asaase Radio, a pro-government radio station, is stating that Ken Ofori-Atta, the finance minister, was the main target of the Tiger Eye PI operatives even though he accepted a gift for an undisclosed sum of money.
Read pertinent passages from the November 14 Asaase Radio report below:
Tiger Eye was unsatisfied following the encounter with Charles Adu Boahen and sought to capture the bigger fish, Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
After repeated tries, Mr. Ofori-Atta agreed to meet them at the airport in Dubai while they were travelling to Tokyo, Japan, giving them the impression that this was their opportunity.
On April 5, 2018, at around 6:30 am, Mr. Ofori-Atta met the alleged investors (investigators) at the Dubai terminal hotel (Dubai International Airport) with the assistance of his then Personal Assistant (PA), Michael Bediako.
It was disclosed to Mr. Ofori-Atta that the meeting would be with the chairman of the Al Baraka Islamic Bank of Bahrain, who had expressed interest in investing $500 million to establish a “ethical” bank in Ghana.
Our checks indicate that the meeting lasted about five minutes.
After being given a “present” that he rejected, Ken Ofori-Atta became very irate and left the room with his PA. His PA had also been given a gift that was rejected.
