An Accra High Court has ordered the temporary freezing of 5 bank accounts and 4 landed properties belonging to former Executive Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation, Dennis Edward Aboagye, popularly known as Miracles Aboagye.

The order was granted on Monday, August 3, 2026, following an application by the Economic and Organised Crime Office as part of its investigation into alleged financial and procurement irregularities at the IMCCoD.

Under the order, no transactions can be carried out on the affected bank accounts. The 4 properties also cannot be sold, transferred, mortgaged or disposed of until the court issues further directions.

The freezing order does not necessarily mean Aboagye has been found guilty. It is a temporary measure intended to preserve the assets while investigators examine whether they are connected to any suspected wrongdoing.

What is EOCO investigating?

EOCO is investigating alleged financial and procurement irregularities involving about GH¢55 million during Aboagye’s tenure as Executive Secretary of the IMCCoD.

The agency has said the investigation involves suspected offences including the alleged misapplication, diversion and theft of public funds. Investigators are examining financial transactions, procurement processes and the use of public funds at the committee to determine whether any criminal offence occurred.

Arrest and bail

Aboagye was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport in July 2026 after immigration officials acted on a stop order and handed him over to EOCO. He was later granted bail of GH¢50 million and released from EOCO custody after meeting the conditions.
