Henry Nana Boakye, National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has announced that the party will stage a march to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) on Monday, July 13, to demand explanations regarding the arrest of Dennis Miracles Aboagye. He explained that the demonstration seeks clarity on the circumstances of the arrest, which the party views as an attempt to intimidate its members.
Speaking on Channel One News on Sunday, July 12, Nana Boakye alleged that Miracles was taken into custody without prior notice or invitation from EOCO concerning any investigation or wrongdoing. He expressed concern over what he described as the growing use of state institutions to target political opponents, warning that such practices erode Ghana’s democratic principles.
“Miracles has not received any invitation from EOCO. He has not been informed of any wrongdoing. He has not been told that he is under any form of investigation,” Nana Boakye stated.
Nana Boakye stressed that the NPP supports accountability and would cooperate with any legitimate investigation involving its members, but insisted that due process must be followed. His comments follow a Facebook post by the NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, who alleged that Dennis Miracles Aboagye was arrested by EOCO officers with the assistance of Immigration officials at the Accra International Airport.

According to the post, Miracles’ lawyers have since been denied access to him, his whereabouts remain unknown, and no charges have been filed against him. At the time of publication, EOCO had not publicly commented on the arrest or responded to the allegations made by the NPP.
