Chucatel Ghana Commends Interpol Ghana

The Managing Director of Chucatel Ghana Ltd Mr. Mohammed Alhassan GOMDA has praised highly INTERPOL -Ghana for the diplomacy and professionalism they exhibited leading to the recovery of a drilling rig of Chucatel Ghana which was unlawfully taken to Cote D' ivoire by one Jean Jacques Datte who went into agreement with Chucatel Ghana to use the drilling rig to drill 30 boreholes in certain communities in Cote D' ivoire under legally agreed terms but had to unlawfully keep the drill rig for over 3years in Cote D' ivoire in complete violation of the agreement terms since 2013.

Speaking to The media in Accra Mr Mohammed GOMDA who signed the agreement on behalf of his organisation disclosed that it became clear Jean Jacques Datte and his African Solutions company of Cote D' divoire were determined to criminally take possession of a machine that was not theirs in any form or shape and went at large with one other person known as Edmond Nguetta to Cote D' ivoire.

It was at this stage that the matter was reported to the Cantonments Police and subsequently to Interpol-Accra since the case involved nationals of another country who were no where to be found.

A warrant of arrest dated 14/07/2015 with No. D2/377/14 was issued by Circuit Court 2- Cocoa Affairs in Accra for the attention of Interpol Cote D' ivoire asking for the arrest of Jean Jacques Datte of Yopougon-Abidjan and also to impound and repatriate the drilling rig which was in their possession.

Detective Corporal Alhaji Ali Ganaini of Interpol Accra who was detailed to handle the matter has also received profound commendations by the management of Chucatel -Ghana for travelling with the Managing Director Mr Mohammed GOMDA to Cote D' ivoire to handle the case with Interpol Cote D'ivoire leading to the recovery of the drill machine to Ghana on the 28thMay, 2016.

According to management of Chucatel Ghana , the matter needed high professionalism in Cote D'ivoire and detective Corporal Alhaji Ali Ganani did his work competently with due dilligence.

The drilling rig has arrived in Ghana through the help of Interpol Ghana and ana management of Chucatel Ghana Ltd is to commence fresh case against Jean Jacques Datte to compel him to honour the agreement between Chucatel and African Solutions of Cote D' ivoire. Mr Mohammed Alhassan GOMDA used his interaction with The Voiceless to caution Ghanaian business persons to do extra due when entering into agreements with foreign persons and firms. It must be put on record that Datte never paid a penny for the 3 years he has been working with the drill rig.
