A founding Member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has accused government of witch hunting Ibrahim Mahama after the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) invited the latter for questioning on Tuesday.
Mr. Mahama who is a brother to former president John Mahama was invited by EOCO for questioning over some dud cheques he issued to the Customs division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at the Tema Ports to clear some heavy duty equipment he imported into the country.
It can be recalled that the Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyepong alleged on Oman FM in March this year that Mahama defrauded the state some GHS14million. He thus pledged to commit suicide if the government did not incarcerate Mr. Mahama.
But it is, however, not clear whether EOCO interrogated Mr. Mahama on some of those allegations leveled against him but many including Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe believe his invitation was connected to the threat by the maverick NPP MP.
Speaking Wednesday in an interview with Starr News’ Ibrahim Alhassan, Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe declared that Mr. Mahama who happens to be his nephew is no fraud and the claim that he got richer during the administration of former President Mahama was inexplicable.
According to him, all businessmen do issue post-dated cheque and that was what Mr. Mahma did adding that there was nothing wrong with it.
Mr. Mahama, he added is not perturbed by the harassments from the EOCO noting that “Ibrahim [Mahama] will never fail.”
“He will never ever fail,” he emphasized.

Is Ibrahim more Ghanaian than others who had their goods confiscated at the port, I think they would have accepted the check if he is not President Bro, no one is above the laws of this country, he must face the law.To you Dr Nyaho, are you patriotic or cos Ibrahim is your nephew
Aren't you ashame of yourself.your nephew issue a postdated check and every business man does that. Is it post dated check or dud check and how long did the check fail to honoured.for over three years now the check had fail to be honoured and you say what. Come to Tema port and see how many of us had our cars cofisicated for not paying on time and how much they sold the cars to their cronies.Do you think if he was not the brother to the president he could have had his way through?This man could mash-up soldiers when he is going on jogging thinking that being a brother to the president will last forever. Did you hear of any brother of Kuffuor,Atta mills and Rawlings abusing state security as this Ibrahim boy did.
All those insulting Nyaho, mu maame te
The duty has not been paid and that's why people are upset.
DR NYHAHO,NO ONE IS SAYING THAT HE MADE MONEY UNDER PRESIDENT MAHAMA'S CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION.WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS THAT HE HAS DEFRAUDED THE STATE BY PAYING DUD CHEQUES TO CUSTOMS FOR GOODS HE IMPORTED.AND IT'S AN OFFENSE UNDER BANKING LAW.THE MINIMUM PUNISHMENT IS 5YEARS IN PRISON.THIS IS EVEN ONE OF THOUSAND CRIMES OF IBRAHIM MAHAMA AND THERE IS MORE TO COME SO STOP TALKING NON SENSE.
PLEASE, STOP INSULTING THIS MAN. JUST GIVE HIM SOMETIME TO GROW-UP. HE WILL STOP. "TAFLATS3" MAN
I respected Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe a lot because of the way he is frank but I think he is losing his head after his nephew had access to power by virtue of his brother's position as Prez. My idol has proven to me that he is a Greedy BASTARD and therefore cannot be trusted. How can you defend such a thing, Dr. Tamakloe? Please protect the little reputation you have left and don't meddle in these issues as Ibrahim and his cohorts will land you in double trouble. Be advised.
So the only crime committed by Ibrahim Mahama is issuing a dud cheque of GHC 14million? of which the duty was finally paid? come on lets be serious in this country. This is just politics, if we should go strictly to this so call law,most if not all business men will go to jail in this country.NPP should find something better to do and stop this non-s-ense.
If he is a real doctor and he performs operations, does he accepts dud cheques for his surgical operations? A doctor indeed.
Eiiiii Papa Nyaho, post-dated cheque to clear goods at the port? Hmmmmmm, very disgraceful and ignorance. By the way, post-dated cheque for how long? This man is a confused human being!!!
