“But I want to warn any executive, director, or employee of each of the companies knowing that Mr Adu Boahen has been arrested. if they move assets we will track and arrest them and prosecute them.
“All banks are also warned that if we see any wire transfers or cash withdrawals on any of the accounts belonging to Mr. Adu Boahen and his companies, the Bank Managers and all their employees who are involved in those transfers will equally be arrested.

“We are monitoring their activities, and we are monitoring all their bank accounts from the Financial Intelligence Centre, with a press of a button we can see the movement of money on any of the accounts, so we are monitoring that very closely.”
