Maxwell Kofi Jumah, the former Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries, has reportedly been arrested by national security operatives at his residence in Kumasi.
The arrest occurred on Sunday, June 29, 2025, after operatives requested to speak with him. He was subsequently transported in a pickup truck to the Ashanti Regional Police Command, where he is currently being held.
This incident comes in the wake of a previous operation on May 15, during which security personnel attempted to recover state vehicles allegedly in his possession. Jumah was not present at his residence at that time.
According to sources, the former MD is under investigation for suspected financial misconduct, including the unauthorized sale of assets and questionable vehicle acquisitions during his time at GIHOC.
