Ghana court orders freeze of former IMCCoD chief Dennis Aboagye’s assets

An Accra High Court granted an application by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to freeze five bank accounts and four landed properties belonging to Dennis Edward Aboagye, former Executive Secretary of the Inter‑Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD), known as “Miracles”. The freeze is part of EOCO’s investigation into the alleged misappropriation of about GH¢55 million at the IMCCoD during Aboagye’s tenure, focusing on suspected fraud, theft and procurement irregularities.

Aboagye was arrested at Kotoka International Airport on 12 July 2026 after returning to Ghana, intercepted by immigration officials and handed to EOCO for questioning before being released. EOCO said the arrest followed new investigative findings and placed a stop order on him to prevent travel that could affect the probe. The agency also confirmed the arrest of the committee’s former accountant, Gerald Appiah. The asset freeze is intended to preserve the suspected proceeds while investigations continue; no determination of guilt has been made.
