Tiwaa Addo-Danquah’s controversial bust
In October 2024, social media users chastised Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) officers after a bust of COP Maame Tiwaa Addo-Danquah was unveiled.
Netizens questioned COP Addo-Danquah's achievements and policies, which deserved such an honor.
EOCO employees unveiled the bust to convey their appreciation for COP Tiwaa Addo-Danquah's services to the institution's worker welfare.
The bust's inscription read: "Obaatanpa Tiwaa Gardens to the Glory of God, dedicated to COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah (Mrs) by the entire staff of EOCO in appreciation of her invaluable contribution to the welfare of the members of staff on Friday, 18th October 2024."
The bust, which has sparked public debate since its introduction, was believed to have been demolished on January 7, 2025, by unknown individuals.
