NKONKONSA.com has learned that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) have confirmed that former Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST) CEO, Edwin Provencal, is in their custody and remains under investigation.
According to Citi News sources, Mr. Provencal was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) while attempting to board a flight out of the country.
Mr. Provencal had been placed on a stop list as part of ongoing investigations into activities that occurred during his tenure at BOST.
He was reportedly apprehended on Monday, November 10, while en route to Maputo, Mozambique, without securing the necessary authorisation.
The arrest comes amid heightened scrutiny of BOST’s operations, with the government emphasising accountability and transparency in state-owned enterprises.
During his tenure, Provencal oversaw key aspects of Ghana’s fuel supply and storage infrastructure.
The EOCO sources further indicated that officials intercepted him to ensure that the ongoing probe was not compromised, although they did not provide additional details on the nature of the investigation.
