He further alleged that authorities had been unable to arrest the businessman at the time due to alleged protection from the then-governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He was wanted by the Feds since 2017/2018… The NPP government protected him… He paid a lot of money to keep himself in Ghana, yet he didn’t stop showing off. He took the world into his own hands and kept abusing the power of the universe. It’s a spiritual punishment, and he has to endure it alone. Don’t cry for anybody who shed blood and used bad voodoo to ruin others’ lives!

A review of Boateng’s bank account records received from EOCO reflects that Boateng used a phone number linked to him in this scheme. These bank account records also show that between May 2016 and May 2018, Boateng received wire transfers totalling approximately $2.9 million. These transfers all came directly from known fraud suspects or admitted co-conspirators, the document reads.
