'Alleged GH¢55m looted funds didn't come up in discussions at EOCO' - Miracles Aboagye

Dennis Miracles Aboagye, an aide to the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2028 presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has spoken about his arrest and detention by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over alleged misappropriation of state funds during his tenure as the former Executive Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD).

In a statement shared on social media on July 15, 2026, after his release from custody, Aboagye dismissed claims that EOCO was investigating him for misappropriation, misapplication, diversion and theft of public funds amounting to GH¢55 million.

He stressed that no such discussion took place during his time with EOCO.

“Four days ago, just one day after I declared my intention to serve our great party as National Communications Director, I was picked up and detained by EOCO. A false narrative was put out about my arrest, but Ghanaians are not fools, and neither are the good people of the New Patriotic Party.

“The facts and the truth will prevail! FOR THE RECORDS: THERE WAS NO discussion of any GH¢55 million with me by EOCO. None!!!” he stated.

Aboagye expressed gratitude to party supporters who protested during his detention, saying their actions strengthened his resolve.

“To every party faithful who hit the streets, who raised their voices, who refused to be silent, I saw you. I heard you. From my detention, word of your protests reached me, and it kept my spirit standing tall.

“You did not just defend Dennis Miracles Aboagye; you defended the principle that no voice can be intimidated into silence. Let me be clear: if the intention was to break me, it has failed. If the intention was to scare me, it has failed spectacularly.”

Miracles Aboagye was released from custody on July 14, 2026.

In a statement issued earlier on July 13, 2026, EOCO confirmed that his arrest was connected to allegations relating to his tenure as Executive Secretary of the IMCCoD.

I AM OUT. I AM UNBROKEN. AND I AM MORE READY THAN EVER. THANK YOU PATRIOTS!
