Upon reaching my place, the next blow came via mail. My CEO had ordered me to go on leave without pay for an unspecified period of time, a notification from my bank that my accounts have been frozen due to a court order from EOCO. Right that moment I knew I had hit rock bottom and will have to fall at the mercy of my fiancee and the little 5000gh I had in an account with a credit union, unknown to the EOCO team.
Between January 2019 to October 2019, I had the worst days of my life, COVID was on the rise, I had EOCO and court dates upon dates and worse of all my fiancee started showing her true colours. She broke up with me in the middle of June that year. She said she couldn't bear it anymore and that she couldn't keep taking care of me anymore. Episode 2
I had been with Austin and Austin an audit and advisory firm for 7years. I was handpicked by the firm for national service after finishing top of my class in business school at college. During the national service, the paid for my upgrade into a professional; ACCA, Chartered Tax Accountant and other short term professional courses to be a top-notch professional.
All of that took close to 3years and I was made to sign a contract of commitment for 10 years. I had just done 4 years of the commitment.
I owed everything to Austin and Austin. They made who I had become; successful and sort after audit professional in the country. My team and I had the accounts of the Top 10 companies in the country under our management. We were simply just the best.
As we drove to the EOCO office I kept asking myself what could have gone wrong for such an ordeal. Whiles on our way, the EOCO official said to me; "I was really surprised when my boss gave me the warrant to invite you to our office for questioning", you are one of the very best professionals we have in the country, I pray you are innocent in all of this because you a real inspiration to me. I have asked my boss to exempt me from the questioning since am not sure I can be objective due to a conflict of my admiration for you. I pray you are innocent; those were the last words of Selestine to me.
