Former Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah’s application seeking to restrain the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) from going ahead to freeze accounts and seize cash recovered from her Abelemkpe residence has been adjourned to February 1, 2024.
The OSP froze the former minister’s Prudential Bank and Société Générale bank accounts after huge sums of money were recovered from her home during a search.
On August 31, 2023, the High Court in Accra ordered the OSP to return the $590,000 and GH¢2.73 million seized from Cecilia Dapaah’s home within seven days.
Meanwhile, OSP rejected the court’s ruling and requested the Human Rights Court to permit the continuous freezing of the former minister’s properties and cash.
In an application made by the former minister on October 9,2023, she wanted the freeze and seizure case to be expedited.
The OSP announced on its Facebook page that the case was adjourned to February 1.
“The Human Rights Court siting in Accra has adjourned to 1 February 2024 the case in which former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, and her husband, Daniel Osei Kuffuor, have filed an interlocutory injunction application against the OSP to restrain the Office from continuing to freeze Madam Dapaah’s accounts and seizing cash recovered from their residence.”
