The Executive Director of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO), COP
Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah has denied ever threatening the family of security
analyst Dr. Adam Bonaa. Dr. Bonaa recently alleged that the EOCO Boss called his wife to
issue threats, charging her to inform the husband to keep her name out of his mouth in his
public commentaries.
Speaking on Morning Starr with Naa Dedei Tettey on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, Dr. Bonaa
questioned the basis for the call MadamTiwaa Addo-Danquah placed to his wife instead of
dealing with him directly.
“She actually called my wife to threaten my wife, children, and me. I thought that for someone of
her calibre who has been put in charge of a public office to do that, I found that very appalling
and so I am going to make a formal complaint to the CID for her to be questioned,” Dr. Bonaa
stated.
He alleged the action of the EOCO boss was as a result of a petition sent to Parliament to
investigate the decision to end investigations into the Cecilia Dapaah case following a referral
from the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
But reacting to the allegation to EIB’s Head of Political Desk, Ibrahim Alhassan, COP Maame
Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah explained, her called to the wife of Dr. Bonaa was never a threat.
According to the EOCO boss she only called to inform the wife about some falsehoods being
peddled by the husband against her. Maame Tiwaa related to a claim Dr. Bonaa made on Kumasi
based Oyerepa FM that she had led a team of senior police officers to get Asantehene to lobby
President Akufo-Addo for the IGP post. A claim she described as a lie explaining the officers
only donated to the Heal KATH project.
“I told her that all that he has said doesn’t mean anything to me. But if he doesn’t stop I will
pray. If she doesn’t call her husband (Dr. Bonaa) to order, I will go on my knees and I will pray
to my God and my God will listen and she the wife might become an innocent victim. Because
when I pray with an open heart and I tell God that this man is hurting me because he is lying
about me. My God that I serve will listen to me.” COP Tiwaa explained
According her, contrary to the claim by Dr. Bonaa, she is ever ready to face parliament whenever
called upon during the probe into the Cecilia Dapaah petition. Madam Tiwaa charged the
security analyst to stop running to the media and face her over the issues
“I am ever prepared and ready to face parliament because it will be an opportunity to educate
people like Bonaa on the mandate of EOCO. Stop running to the media and face me” She
challenged.
