Former Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries, Maxwell Kofi Jumah, has reportedly been arrested by national security operatives at his residence in Kumasi.
The arrest took place on Sunday, June 29, 2025, following a request by the operatives 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 follows an earlier operation on May 15, during which security personnel attempted to retrieve state vehicles allegedly in his possession. Jumah was not home at the time.
Sources indicate that the former MD is being investigated for alleged financial misconduct, including the unauthorized sale of assets and questionable vehicle acquisitions during his tenure at GIHOC.
