Abraham Amaliba, the former Director of Legal Affairs of the National Democratic Congress, weighed in on the recent arrest of New Patriotic Party (NPP) communicator Miracles Aboagye.
According to Abraham Amaliba, state apparatus have failed Ghanaians, highlighting that no one should blame the government for the work of the security services.
He noted that both the NDC and the NPP have drunk the poisonous chalice and must rather put pressure on the security agencies for them to know Ghana is now a democratic state governed by the Constitution.
Speaking in an interview on JoyNews, Abraham Amaliba stated, “We’ve all drunk the poisonous chalice. So we have all come to realise that it is wrong. What we should be doing is to put pressure on the security agencies and let them know that we are now in a democratic state governed by the Constitution. At that point, we will begin to see them reforming.
“I don’t think that any government is responsible for what you are talking about. No, it is the state security apparatus that has failed this”, he stated.
He, however, acknowledged that there are instances where governments can be directly accused of interfering in the work of state institutions, referring to the leaked audio involving former Attorney General Godfred Dame, which allegedly captured discussions concerning the prosecution of Dr Cassiel Ato Forson.
“There is a little difference where governments and, say, the President are involved. We had an audio that was leaked, and the Attorney General made a categorical statement that it was Nana Addo, the President, and the former Finance Minister who were putting pressure on him.
“That is a clear case. You can say government interference because we all heard the audio. That is different from when state security agents are doing their work but are not respecting the Constitution”, he added.
Meanwhile, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, an aspiring National Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has broken his silence following his release from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) detention.
Miracles Aboagye disclosed that he remains unshaken by his recent arrest by the EOCO, adding that if the intention was to break or scare him, it has failed.
According to Miracles Aboagye, his experience at EOCO had only strengthened his resolve and increased his capacity to serve.
In a X post on July 15, 2026, following his release from detention, Miracles Aboagye wrote, I AM OUT. I AM UNBROKEN. AND I AM MORE READY THAN EVER. THANK YOU, PATRIOTS!
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 GHc55million cedis with me by EOCO. None!!!
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. I will lead New Patriotic Party’s communications Directorate to command the narrative, and no cell, no false story, no intimidation will change that.
Fuel, has only been added to the fire 🔥
To my legal team, party leadership, and every single supporter who stood with me, thank you.
This journey is no longer mine alone. It is ours.
We move. Stronger. Louder. Together.
Built to Lead. Ready to Win”.
