Former Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries, Maxwell Kofi Jumah, has reportedly been arrested by national security operatives at his residence in Kumasi. The arrest occurred on Sunday, June 29, 2025, after the operatives requested to speak with him. He was subsequently transported in a pickup vehicle to the Ashanti Regional Police Command, where he is currently in custody.
This development follows an earlier operation on May 15, during which security personnel attempted to recover state vehicles allegedly in his possession. Jumah was not at home at that time. Sources suggest that the former Managing Director is being investigated for alleged financial misconduct, including the unauthorized sale of assets and questionable vehicle acquisitions during his tenure at GIHOC.
