Opuni sues EOCO for freezing his account again

Dr Opuni says the continuous freezing of his accounts has caused and continues to cause extreme hardships to him and his family.

Lawyers of Dr. Opuni won a judgement two weeks ago instructing the EOCO to unfreeze his account, however, the EOCO have failed to heed to the judgement.

In the writ dated April 27, 2018, Dr Opuni said the conduct of EOCO and its decision to continue freezing his assets is inhuman and wrongful.

His accounts were frozen for over a year as the state pursues a litany of charges against him.
