The Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), COP Maame Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, has responded to allegations made by security analyst Adam Bonaa.

According to her, she contacted Bonaa's wife but emphasized that her call was not a threat. Instead, she claimed it was a plea to prevent Mrs. Bonaa from becoming an "innocent victim" in the ongoing conflict between herself and Dr. Bonaa.

In an interview with Starr FM on Wednesday, COP Addo-Danquah clarified her intentions behind the call.

"I called the wife to plead to her conscience as a fellow woman because she wouldn’t be happy if the least opportunity that Bonaa gets he will lie about me," she explained.

"I told her that all that he (Dr. Bonaa) has said doesn’t mean anything to me, but if he doesn’t stop I will pray. If she doesn’t call her husband (Dr. Bonaa) to order, I will go on my knees and I will pray to my God, and my God will listen, and she, the wife, might become an innocent victim. Because when I pray with an open heart and I tell God that this man is hurting me because he is lying about me, my God that I serve will listen to me,” the EOCO boss said.

COP Addo-Danquah also expressed her willingness to face Parliament to clarify the mandates and operations of EOCO.

This follows Dr. Bonaa’s allegations on radio that the EOCO boss had threatened his family.

“I am ever prepared and ready to face Parliament because it will be an opportunity to educate people like Bonaa on the mandate of EOCO. Stop running to the media and face me," she challenged.

Dr. Bonaa had accused COP Addo-Danquah of calling his wife to threaten his family, which he found highly inappropriate for someone in her position.

"She actually called my wife to threaten my wife, children, and me. I thought that for someone of her calibre, who has been put in charge of a public office, to do that, I found that very appalling, and so I am going to make a formal complaint to the CID for her to be questioned," he stated.
