A netizen has made shocking allegations against Ghana's former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, claiming that she departed the country the day after President John Dramani Mahama's inauguration. The charges come amid continuing investigations into large sums of money allegedly discovered in her possession.
Cecilia Dapaah and her husband made headlines in 2023 when they filed a theft complaint alleging that more than $1 million and €300,000 were stolen from their home.
