The Chief Executive Officer of Labianca Company Limited, Eunice Jacqueline Buah Asomah-Hinneh, has passed away. Reports indicate that she died on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at the International Maritime Hospital (IMAH) in Tema, following a brief illness.
At the time of her passing, Ms. Asomah-Hinneh was serving as the representative of the Western Region on the Council of State. She previously served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) from 2017 to 2021.
Ms. Asomah-Hinneh came into the spotlight when the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) accused her of corruption-related offences. On August 3, 2022, the OSP released a report detailing investigations into alleged corruption involving the Labianca Group of Companies and the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority. The report implicated officials from Labianca and the Customs Division for their roles in reducing the company’s tax liabilities, benefiting Labianca, which deals in the importation of frozen foods.
She is survived by her husband, former Tema Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Nana Asomah-Hinneh (RTD).
