EOCO declares Bankan Yigma Saaka wanted over alleged financial loss to the state

Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has declared Bankan Yigma Saaka wanted in connection with an alleged offence of causing financial loss to the state. The agency issued a public notice on 9 November 2026, asking members of the public to help locate him. According to the notice, anyone with information about Saaka’s whereabouts is being urged to share it with EOCO. The agency says information can be reported at its head office near the Old Parliament House on Barnes Road in Accra, at any of its regional offices, or at the nearest police station. The notice gives no further details about the allegation against Saaka. EOCO has not publicly said when the alleged financial loss took place, what circumstances led to the case, or how much money may be involved. The agency’s announcement therefore leaves key questions unanswered as it seeks assistance in locating him. Causing financial loss to the state is an offence that falls within EOCO’s remit to investigate economic and organised crime. However, the public notice itself does not provide details of an investigation or establish the circumstances of the alleged offence. Saaka is identified as wanted in connection with an allegation; the notice does not include further information about the case. EOCO’s appeal asks people with relevant information to contact the agency or police through the stated channels. The agency has not provided additional publicly available details in the notice about the allegations or the next steps in the matter.
