The Attorney-General’s Office has recommended that Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Emmanuel Nii Ashie-Moore, be charged with stealing over the alleged removal of a Singaporean businessman’s personal belongings.
The recommendation follows a review of an investigation docket containing witness statements, CCTV footage from Fiesta Residences and a cybercrime analysis report.
According to a document cited by MyJoyOnline, the office considers the evidence sufficient to support a charge under Section 124 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
The document alleges that CCTV footage corroborates the removal of the businessman’s luggage while he was in police custody. It also raises questions about how Ashie-Moore came to possess the man’s medication and how his passport was deposited at the High Court Registry.
Investigators have been advised to charge Ashie-Moore, obtain his statement and forward it to the Attorney-General’s Office for prosecution.
The recommendation does not amount to a conviction, and the allegations remain subject to legal proceedings.
The case is connected to a wider dispute involving Singaporean businessman Toh You Kang, who has accused Ashie-Moore of taking US$800,000 in connection with purported Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) electric-cable supply contracts.
In a separate legal action filed in 2025, Kang alleged that he paid the money after being assured that Ashie-Moore could help secure the contracts.
Ashie-Moore has denied receiving the US$800,000. His lawyer previously rejected the allegations and accused Kang of defrauding Ashie-Moore and his business partners.
