Kofi Jumah, the former Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries Company Limited, has been granted bail to the tune of GH¢500,000 with two sureties following his arrest in a high-profile vehicle fraud case.

Jumah stands accused of acquiring brand-new government luxury vehicles at heavily discounted prices. Among the allegations is the purchase of a 2024 Genesis G90—valued at over $100,000—for just GH¢4,943.11. The vehicle in question was previously reported stolen by Jumah himself.

According to Deputy Police Commissioner Lydia Yaako Donkor, his arrest followed a formal petition filed by the GIHOC Distilleries Company Limited. A subsequent search of his residence led to the recovery of three luxury vehicles that had earlier been declared missing.

Jumah, who is the father-in-law of President Nana Akufo-Addo’s daughter, Dokua Akufo-Addo, finds himself at the center of a scandal that has stirred public outrage over abuse of state assets and corruption.
