Peacefmonline.com can confirm that Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, brother of former President John Dramani Mahama, has been asked to pay a sum of GHC 12.7 million to the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO).
He is to make the payment by Monday, 8th May 2017.
Two days ago, Mr. Ibrahim Mahama was picked up by the EOCO to answer questions over some dud cheques he issued to the Customs division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at the Tema Port to clear some heavy duty equipment he had imported.
It was also alleged that he was also questioned on some fraudulent deals he may have made as claimed by the Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyepong.
Following the interrogation, he was ordered by the EOCO to submit his passport to the State investigative body on Wednesday, April 19.
NDC Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, George Nartey later told Class FM in an interview that Ibrahim's passport has not been seized.
He was categorical that Ibrahim still has his passport in his (Ibrahim's) possession because he is not a "flight risk".
In latest developments, Mr. Mahama is to pay up the 12.7 million cedis and the amount represents duty for goods he cleared at the Tema Port with dud cheques in 2015 plus interest.
The interest on the amount was worked by the Ghana Revenue Authority.
The order was communicated to Mr. Mahama on Friday morning, April 21, 2017 at the EOCO head office.

THE TREATMENT METED TO IBRAHIM MAHAMA AMOUNTS TO SELECTIVE JUSTICE. EOCO MUST KNOW THAT SELECTIVE JUSTICE IS INJUSTICE AND CORRUPTION. IF EOCO WHO IS EXPECTED TO FIGHT CORRUPTION IS PRACTICING CORRUPTION THEN WHERE SHOULD WE GO TO GETT REMEDY FOR CORRUPTION.
If someone willfully and continuously issues dud cheques do you ask him or her to pay back the money and go home a free man or woman? Please Ghana is that how the law works? People must be made to fear and shiver about committing a crime and all Ghanaians must be treated equally against law. Nana Addo please up on your game and let the committing of a crime become very expensive; really expensive with hefty jail terms. If Ibrahim Mahama has written dud cheques then he must go to jail and should not be treated differently just because he is rich and famous. It's a damaged brain that will say that arresting a tax evader and fake cheque issuer is witch hunting.
Ghana the poor always suffers
Where is his uncle Nyaho he said the enemies of Ibrahim shall fall now what is he going to say to the public what a shame if ndc wants to blame someone for their defeat they should start from Mahama nd his family expecially this Ibrahim I rest my case
If it was me, a nobody I will be in jail.***barred word*** farm one law for the chikens another for the pigs on the same farm.Jah be with us
Wait s minute!!!! When is this kind of political witch-hunting going to stop? Did i hear the Government of Ghana owe Ibrahim GHC 25M for works done for the state? So GHC 25M minus GHC 12.7. Who is owing who? Tweaaa. Ghana paaaaa. Because of politics. No position is permanent oooooooo. hmmmmmmmmm
The Mahama''s were so sure of winning the elections because they bribed everybody. Ghana would have been sold by this greedy family if they had won. God bring so good, they lost. Bringing in goods and refusing to pay duty is very serious. TIEFS
Kwabena Mintah Akandor said Kennedi Agyapong is a liar on Adom TV. Alhaji Bature said Kennedi Agyapong is only using Photocopies as prove of evidence. Let's hear from Bofty Sam George. I rest my case.
I SAID EOCO WILL SPOIL THE CASE.HE WILL PAY AND GO HOME FOR FREE?I SEE THE REASON WHY MAHAMA APPOINTED EOCO BOSS BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE.NANA ADDO THIS NOT THE REASON WHY GHANAIANS VOTED FOR YOU.2020 IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
