NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong criticizes government over arrests of former officials

Speaking during a protest by the NPP youth wing on Monday, July 13, 2026, he stated that the NPP would not be intimidated by these arrests, calling them government tactics. Kodua dismissed allegations by EOCO as “frivolous” and part of a campaign to tarnish the reputation of NPP members. He also criticized state institutions for arbitrary arrests and denying suspects access to lawyers, citing the case where a man was held from Saturday evening to Monday without legal counsel.

Kodua cautioned government appointees that political power is temporary and they should be mindful of their actions. The Economic and Organised Crime Office EOCO confirmed the arrest of Dennis Edward Aboagye in connection with investigations into alleged financial and procurement irregularities at the IMCCoD Secretariat, following a petition from the current Executive Secretary of IMCCoD. Aboagye is under investigation for conspiracy to steal and stealing, using public office for profit, causing financial loss to the state, dissipation of public funds, defrauding by false pretenses, money laundering, and other suspected offenses.
