Maxwell Kofi Jumah, the former Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries, has been arrested by national security operatives at his residence in Kumasi.
The arrest occurred on Sunday, June 29, 2025, after operatives reportedly requested to speak with him. He was subsequently transported in a pickup truck to the Ashanti Regional Police Command, where he remains in custody.
This follows an earlier operation on May 15, when security personnel attempted to retrieve government vehicles allegedly in Jumah’s possession. At the time, he was not present.
Sources say Jumah is under investigation for suspected financial misconduct during his tenure at GIHOC. Allegations include unauthorized sale of state assets and questionable acquisition of vehicles.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement, but further updates are expected.
