Former Executive Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD), Dennis Miracles Aboagye, cannot withdraw, transfer, or process payments as the High Court has ordered the freezing of five bank accounts and four landed properties owned by him as part of an ongoing investigation by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

Per the order, issued by the court on Monday, August 3, it prohibits the sale, transfer, mortgage or disposal of the four landed properties until the court orders otherwise.

The freeze order is to help the crime-check institution preserve assets that may be relevant to its ongoing investigations into alleged financial and procurement-related irregularities.

Miracles Aboagye was arrested and detained by EOCO on Saturday, 11 July 2026, at Kotoka International Airport for alleged misappropriation of about GH¢55 million at the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD) during his time as Executive Secretary.

He was detained by EOCO for about 2 days while the anti-corruption institution prepared charges and sought court orders.

Dennis Miracles Aboagye denied all the allegations levelled against him, maintaining that he has committed no wrongdoing.

He was granted bail in the sum of GH¢50 million with three sureties, pending the outcome of the investigations.

Under Ghanaian law, investigative bodies such as EOCO may apply to the courts for preservation orders where they believe assets may be connected to suspected economic or organised crime.
