A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Communications Team, Awal Mohammed, has alleged that the ongoing investigation involving former government spokesperson Dennis Miracles Aboagye is a politically motivated attempt to tarnish his reputation.
In a discussion on Kessben Maakye show in Accra hosted by Kojo Preko Dankwa, Awal Mohammed claimed the actions against Aboagye were part of a “scripted agenda” designed to discredit him, insisting that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) had sought to convince the public with what he described as false allegations.
According to him, Aboagye served as the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Akuapem and later headed the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation, handing over his responsibilities on February 2, 2026.
He argued that officials who succeeded Aboagye merely conducted a forensic audit during his tenure and suggested it was unfair to draw adverse conclusions without giving him a proper hearing.
Awal further disclosed that Aboagye responded to audit findings submitted within a week but claimed he received no further communication until EOCO invited him in February and summoned him again in May.
He also questioned EOCO’s handling of the matter, arguing that if there had truly been a stop order against Aboagye, authorities could have arrested him while he was travelling rather than waiting until his arrival.
The NPP communicator also raised concerns about the alleged financial figures being circulated. He claimed investigations initially focused on a consultancy procurement amounting to GH¢5 million, questioning why the amount had allegedly been increased to GH¢55 million in public discussions.
Awal Mohammed further asked why, if an accountant identified as Gerald Mensah had allegedly begun repaying part of an alleged GH¢50 million, investigators were not equally pursuing others he claimed were connected to the matter.
He maintained that the case was being used to “defame and demonize” Dennis Miracles Aboagye and called for what he described as a fair, transparent, and impartial investigation.
