Queen Amadia, wife of businessman Dr. Sledge, was reportedly arrested by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) at Kotoka International Airport on May 12, 2026, amid ongoing investigations involving her husband.
The arrest is linked to a $94 million corruption scandal and transactions with the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIF) between 2020 and 2024.
Dr. Sledge, also known as Nana Yaw Duodo, is under investigation for alleged corrupt gold deals tied to the government’s gold for oil program.
He was previously arrested and released, after which he threw a party and gifted his wife a Rolls-Royce.
EOCO hasn’t officially confirmed the arrest or outlined possible charges. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities gathering evidence.
