Former Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries, Maxwell Kofi Jumah, has been arrested by national security operatives at his Kumasi residence.
The arrest occurred on Sunday, June 29, 2025, after officers reportedly approached Jumah at home requesting to speak with him. He was later transported in a pickup vehicle to the Ashanti Regional Police Command, where he remains in custody.
This development comes weeks after an earlier operation on May 15, when security agents attempted to retrieve state vehicles allegedly in his possession. Jumah was not present during that earlier visit.
According to sources, the former GIHOC executive is under investigation for suspected financial misconduct, including the unauthorized sale of company assets and irregularities in vehicle acquisitions during his time in office.
