THE CRIMINAL Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has denied media reports claiming that Angela Attieh, formerly known as Angela List, has been arrested and granted bail.
According to checks at Police Headquarters, the CID has never discussed, planned, or carried out any action to arrest Angela Attieh, who is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Nguvu Mining Limited.
The police say the reports are false and misleading. One of the newspapers that published the story, The Supreme Newspaper, has since apologized and withdrawn the publication.
On 17 November 2025, the National Media Commission (NMC) ruled on complaints filed by Adamus Resources Limited. The Commission directed the media houses involved to retract their “misleading and damaging publications” and to apologize to Angela Attieh and her company.
Lawyers for Angela Attieh, Apatu-Plange and Co PRUC, have also described the arrest claims as completely false, irresponsible, and a product of the publishers’ imagination. The reports alleged that she had been arrested and granted bail over a supposed multi-million-dollar embezzlement at BCM International.
In a statement signed by lawyer Nii Apatu-Plange, the firm stressed that Angela Attieh has never been arrested or detained in relation to any matter. “At no time has she been treated as a criminal by any law enforcement agency. The claim that she was arrested is a complete fabrication meant to damage her reputation and create unnecessary sensation,” the statement said.
BCM International is jointly owned by Angela Attieh and her former husband, Paul List. Angela joined the company in 2001, at a time when it was virtually bankrupt and struggling to survive after senior executives had resigned.
She took unpaid leave from her job at KPMG to help revive the company and worked for more than four years without pay. Through her management and leadership, BCM International grew from nothing in 2001 to a business valued at over $500 million.
Following divorce proceedings in 2021, Angela stepped back from the day-to-day management of the company but remained a joint owner.
Her lawyers described claims that she embezzled company funds as “preposterous and completely false,” noting that the same allegation was raised in a court case, BCM International v. Angela List, and was dismissed by the court.
“The recycling of a claim already rejected by the courts is irresponsible, misleading, and an abuse of media platforms,” the statement added.
Reacting to the matter, Angela Attieh urged the public, business partners, and stakeholders to ignore the publications.
She described them as recycled and discredited allegations intended to damage her reputation and not a true reflection of the facts.
