The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has obtained a High Court order freezing several assets belonging to New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart Dennis Miracles Aboagye as investigations into alleged corruption-related offences continue.
The order, secured on August 3, 2026, covers multiple bank accounts and properties reportedly owned by the NPP communicator and aide to the party’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to a Joy News report, the assets affected by the court order include:
- Five bank accounts, with all transactions suspended.
- A seven-bedroom house at Larteh in the Eastern Region.
- A two-bedroom house at Spintex in Accra.
- A residential apartment complex at Adjiringanor in Accra.
- Fifteen acres of land at Larteh in the Eastern Region.
The freezing order forms part of EOCO’s ongoing probe into allegations involving Miracles Aboagye during his tenure as Executive Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD).
EOCO says the NPP stalwart was arrested after investigators uncovered fresh evidence linked to suspected fraud and theft as part of investigations into the alleged misappropriation of approximately GH¢55 million at the IMCCoD.
The anti-graft agency also stated that Miracles Aboagye had previously cooperated with investigators and was aware of the ongoing inquiry. It further disclosed that he had been placed on a stop list to prevent him from leaving the country in a manner that could affect investigations.
Miracles Aboagye has, however, rejected the allegations, insisting that investigators questioned him only about an amount of GH¢5 million.
Meanwhile, the IMCCoD Secretariat has accused its former Executive Secretary of attempting to influence the findings of a forensic audit report.
In a statement issued on July 27, 2026, the Secretariat alleged that Miracles Aboagye requested the removal of sections of the report, including findings relating to a bank account that reportedly recorded transactions worth GH¢102,256,802.69.
According to the statement, the request was made during a meeting held on July 18, 2025, at the office of one of his lawyers. The meeting was attended by the current Executive Secretary after an invitation was conveyed through the lawyer and a mutual acquaintance.
