OSP drops all cases against Cecilia Dapaah, Ordered to return seized assets
The Special Prosecutor has withdrawn the request to validate the confiscation and freezing of Cecilia Dapaah’s funds and bank accounts.
In addition, the prosecution has withdrawn a criminal case brought against the former minister of sanitation for failing to disclose her assets.
Following several in-chamber hearings on the subject, this conclusion was made. The Special Prosecutor has been holding Cecilia Dapaah’s funds that were taken during a search of her home as part of the investigations for several months.
Since the initial open court hearing, the case has been heard in chambers. However, following a Thursday, January 25, chambers session, sources familiar with the legal teams disclosed that the Special Prosecutor’s office has chosen to drop the charges against Cecilia Dapaah.
Although the cause for the withdrawal is unknown, the Judge has given the OSP 72 hours to grant Cecilia Dapaah access to the properties, according to sources cited by Citi News.
