EOCO explains why Dennis Miracles Aboagye was arrested at the airport
Dennis Edward Aboagye, also known as Miracles, was arrested at the airport upon his return to Ghana on a Saturday night. EOCO developed an operational plan to arrest Mr. Aboagye after uncovering significant new findings last week relating to suspected fraud and theft connected to ongoing investigations into the alleged misappropriation of about GH¢55 million at the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD). Mr. Aboagye was already aware of the investigation and had previously visited EOCO.
Mr. Aboagye was placed on a stop order to prevent travel, but investigators discovered he had already left the country before the directive took effect. Officers of the Ghana Immigration Service intercepted Mr. Aboagye upon his arrival and handed him over to investigators on Sunday morning. He subsequently accompanied EOCO officials on a search operation on Sunday, with further searches expected to continue. EOCO stated that Mr. Aboagye would be granted bail in line with the Constitution and the laws of Ghana.
