Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) says it has taken note of reports alleging that Springfield Energy’s Chief Executive, Kevin Okyere, has been arrested in Dubai, following what the news portal claims is "EOCO's failure to act on a petition alleging defrauding by false pretence". 

EOCO, in a press release dated 2nd November 2025, described the publication by Novareport as misleading.

According to the investigative body, it is currently investigating two separate cases involving Springfield Energy, including a high-profile dispute with the state oil company BOST.

"We wish to emphasise that the case involving BOST and Springfield is of priority to EOCO due to its immediate impact on BOST's finances and the local economy", the statement said. 

EOCO also added that even though it does not comment on active investigations,  Novareport did not seek clarification before publishing the story.

The statement concluded by assuring its commitment to investigating crimes and urging the public to disregard the false claims made by Novareport.
