Former Managing Director of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company (BOST), Edwin Provencal, has been released after meeting his GH¢30 million bail condition, following more than two weeks in the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Mr Provencal was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) on Monday, November 10, while attempting to board a flight to Maputo, Mozambique.
Authorities said he had been placed on a stop list as part of ongoing investigations into an alleged case of causing financial loss to the state during his tenure at BOST. He was reportedly travelling without the required authorisation.
His arrest triggered significant public interest, with supporters expressing concerns over the prolonged detention.
Speaking after his release on Tuesday, November 25, his legal counsel, Charles Okyere, expressed gratitude to all who had shown solidarity throughout the period.
“Finally, he has met the bail condition, so he has been allowed to go home. He is really thankful for the support.”
