The High Court has directed the freezing of five bank accounts and four properties linked to Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a former Executive Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Communications Directorate (IMCCoD). The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) secured a court order to freeze these assets as part of its investigation into alleged financial and procurement-related irregularities involving approximately GH¢55 million during Aboagye's tenure.
EOCO Investigation into Miracles Aboagye's Activities
The investigation stems from a petition by the current Executive Secretary of IMCCoD, who requested further investigation into a forensic audit covering the period between August 1, 2022, and February 2, 2025. This audit centered on the suspected misappropriation, misapplication, diversion, and theft of public funds amounting to about GH¢55 million. The investigation also involves the former Accountant of IMCCoD, Gerald Appiah, who has allegedly voluntarily begun refunding some of the suspected misappropriated funds.
Miracles Aboagye Speaks on the Matter
Dennis Miracles Aboagye has stated that he has not received any communication from EOCO regarding the freezing of his bank accounts. He has not commented further on the matter, leaving it unclear whether he plans to cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
What's Next for Miracles Aboagye
The High Court's directive to freeze Aboagye's bank accounts and properties is a significant development in the ongoing investigation. It remains to be seen how Aboagye will respond to these developments and whether he will cooperate with EOCO's investigation. The freezing of these assets suggests that someone believes there is a case to be answered, as Edem Senanu, a social media user, noted in a recent post. The next steps in this investigation will likely be closely watched by the public and the media.
