The Accra High Court has approved an application by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to freeze five bank accounts and four landed properties belonging to Dennis Edward Aboagye, popularly known as Miracles, the former Executive Secretary of the Inter‑Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD).
The order is tied to EOCO’s ongoing probe into the alleged diversion of nearly GH¢55 million at the IMCCoD, where investigators are examining suspected fraud, theft, and procurement‑related breaches said to have occurred during Mr. Aboagye’s tenure.
This development comes on the heels of Mr. Aboagye’s arrest at Kotoka International Airport on Sunday, July 12, upon his return to Ghana. Immigration officers intercepted him and handed him over to EOCO for questioning before he was later released.
EOCO explained that the arrest was prompted by fresh findings in the case. The Office noted that Mr. Aboagye had long been aware of the investigation and had previously responded to invitations to assist, but a stop order had been issued to restrict travel that might obstruct the ongoing inquiries.
The agency emphasised that the arrest formed part of its broader investigation into alleged financial improprieties at the IMCCoD. EOCO further confirmed the detention of the committee’s former accountant, Gerald Appiah, as inquiries into the suspected loss of public funds continue.
