The court denies OSP’s request to freeze Cecilia Dapaah’s account and orders the return of seized property.

The Accra High Court’s Financial Division has ordered the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to restore confiscated property of former Sanitation and Water Resources Minister Cecilia Abena Dapaah within seven days.

According to the Court, there was no justifiable ground for the seizure of the property because the OSP entered the act incorrectly.

 

The Court also determined that the OSP lacked reasonable reasons to freeze the former Bantama MP’s bank accounts.

 

It claimed that the OSP’s action was based on speculation and a reaction to public sentiment, resulting in inadequate investigations.

ThIS decision was made on Thursday, August 31.
