 Honorable Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, Minister of Energy and Petroleum

 The Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) are investigating the signature of Honourable Emmanuel Armah- Kofi Buah, Minister of Energy and Petroleum, to acquire an oil block. Investigations reveal that one Charles Andoh, a former employee of Muira Petroleum Limited (MPL), has admitted to the Police that he forged the signatures of both the Minister and the Managing Director of MPL.
Charles Andoh is currently on Police Enquirer Bail and has not been reporting himself to the Police ever since he was granted bail on 17th April.

THE FORGERY
MPL, somewhere in December in 2013, applied to work with the Ministry of Energy for exploration and development site in respect of offshore cape Three Points Oil Block.                                   Investigations however reveal that the publication was found to be false; and investigation revealed it was actuated by letters allegedly forged on the letter heads of both the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, and the MPL, and forwarded to Gondwana Oil Company.             
The suspected forged letters had the signature purported to be the signatures of Hon Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah and the Managing Director of MPL. However, these officials have denied any knowledge of the letters.
Meanwhile, the CEO of MPL Company has been granted bail by EOCO, after intensive interrogation.
