Immediate past Minister for Health, Dr. Okoe Boye, has debunked allegations of a trending TikTok video accusing him of stealing.
Special aide to the former minister, Samuel Kofi Yeboah, in a press statement yesterday said, “Our attention has been drawn to a trending TikTok video falsely accusing Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye of theft. These allegations are entirely false, baseless, and aimed at misleading the public.”
According to Samuel Kofi Yeboah, on Saturday, 18th January 2025, a group led by Kabu Saint Emmanuel and Joseph Tetteh, both NDC-affiliated Assemblymen from Ledzokuku, unlawfully invaded Dr Okoe Boye’s storage facility at an address in Ajiringano under the false pretence of having ORAL authorization.
“They forcefully gained entry, vandalized the premises, and unlawfully removed various items, including Dr Okoe Boye’s personal clothes, furniture, oil, boxes of books written by Dr Okoe Boye, motorbikes, amongst others,” the statement indicated.
Special aide to the former minister added that although the police responded and were present to stop the raid, the perpetrators, including two police officers in civilian clothing from the Teshie Police command, resisted efforts to halt their actions.
The statement therefore urged the public to disregard the false allegations against Dr. Okoe Boye and to remain assured that the Ghana Police Service is actively investigating the matter to ensure justice is served.
“We urge the public to disregard these unfounded allegations and remain assured that the Ghana Police Service is actively investigating the matter to ensure justice is served. Dr. Okoe Boye remains dedicated to serving the community and Ghana with integrity, transparency, and an unwavering commitment to public service, “the statement stressed.
