Samuel Atta Akyea, the lead counsel for Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has slammed the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over the bail conditions granted to Miracles Aboagye.
The lead counsel for Dennis Miracles Aboagye expressed his disappointment with the bail condition, suggesting that the GHC50m bail condition with three sureties slapped on his client could make his release difficult.
Atta Akyea questioned how Miracle Aboagye would be able to secure GH¢50 million in bail with three sureties within such a limited timeframe.
Speaking in an interview on Monday, July 13, 2026, Atta Akyea described Miracle Aboagye’s GH¢50m bail conditions as cruel and oppressive.
He stated, “Democracy and the rule of law have been reversed. A man who is not running away and is decent enough to go through Kotoka International Airport is arrested and has been detained all this while. I don’t believe that’s how we should conduct our affairs by treating him as if he’s a common criminal.
“The bail conditions are cruel and oppressive. At this very hour, they are about to exceed the 48 hours as enshrined in the Constitution”, he said.
“Where is this gentleman going to get three sureties for a GH¢50 million bail sum? The properties should be worth GH¢50 million, and two people should own such properties.
“How is he going to do it? So you can clearly see that the bail terms are cruel and are a way to punish him as well.
“How is he going to be released? How is he going to meet the bail conditions? In this critical hour, how is he going to find those sureties?” he added.
His comments follows, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the NPP Communications Team member, has been granted bail following his arrest by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
According to the Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, Dennis Miracles Aboagye has reportedly been granted bail in the sum of GH¢50 million with three sureties.
Richard Ahiagbah expressed hope that the bail conditions would be met or varied to enable Miracles to secure his release.
Speaking on the Channel One Newsroom, Richard Ahiagbah stated, “My earlier briefing was GH¢50 million with three sureties. I hope that condition is either met or varied for him to be granted bail”.
It will be recalled that the former Director of Communications and spokesperson for the 2024 Bawumia campaign team is Dennis Miracle Aboagye.
Reports suggest the aspiring Communications Director of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) was arrested by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in the early hours of Sunday, July 12, 2026.
Sources told GHnow.com that Miracle Aboagye was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport as part of investigations by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), which is reportedly probing allegations that he misappropriated millions of cedis during his tenure as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee (IMCC).
NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, in a Facebook post, confirmed the arrest by EOCO officers with the assistance of Immigration officials at the Accra International Airport.
He revealed that Miracles’ lawyers have since been denied access to him; his whereabouts remain unknown, and no charges have been filed against him.
Meanwhile, EOCO has revealed that Gerald Appiah, an accomplice arrested alongside NPP communicator Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has begun voluntarily returning loot connected to the GH¢55 million financial irregularities being investigated.
In a press statement issued on Monday, July 13, 2026, EOCO disclosed that Miracles Aboagye’s arrest is linked to alleged financial and procurement-related irregularities involving about GH¢55 million when he was a former Executive Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD).
EOCO disclosed that Dennis Miracles Aboagye is under investigation into the alleged misappropriation of approximately GH¢55 million in public funds.
They further detailed that the arrest follows a forensic audit and a petition submitted by the current Executive Secretary, prompting investigations into alleged financial and procurement irregularities at the Secretariat between August 1, 2022, and February 2, 2025.
According to EOCO, Gerald Appiah has voluntarily commenced repayment of funds connected to the crimes being probed but added that repayments do not conclude the investigative process.
“EOCO notes that Gerald Appiah has voluntarily begun refunding (returning the Loot) of funds connected to the crimes under investigation. These recoveries do not and by themselves, conclude the investigative process, neither does it absolve any suspect of any crime”, the EOCO statement read.
