Cecilia Dapaah released from the custody of the OSP after spending hours detained
Cecilia Abena Dapaah, the former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, was arrested by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and later granted bail with surety on Monday night.
This followed a period of detention and searches conducted at both her official residence in Cantonments and her private residence in Abelemekpe. The searches were related to an alleged million-dollar cash theft by housekeepers, which led to her resignation.
On Monday, July 24, 2023, the OSP officials conducted a thorough search at her Cantonments residence and later searched her Abelemekpe residence.
The specifics of the arrest and searches have not been disclosed yet, but there are indications that the OSP may have discovered something significant during the operations.
The investigation is ongoing, and Mrs. Dapaah’s relatives are expected to be questioned as part of the process. She has also been served with declaration of income and property forms, indicating the seriousness of the allegations against her.
Given her previous role as Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, the nation is closely following the developments surrounding her arrest and the search operations. The OSP has emphasized its commitment to transparency and accountability in tackling corruption and related offenses.
The Ghanaian public is eagerly awaiting the OSP’s official statement concerning these developments.
