The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced plans to stage a march to the offices of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) on Monday, July 13, 2026, to demand an explanation over the arrest of its Director of Communications, Dennis Miracles Aboagye.

The party's National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, said the demonstration is aimed at seeking clarity on the circumstances surrounding the arrest, which the NPP believes is an attempt to intimidate members of the opposition.

Speaking on Channel One News on Sunday, July 12, 2026, Nana Boakye alleged that Aboagye was arrested without any prior invitation or notification from EOCO regarding an investigation or any alleged offence.

"Miracles has not received any invitation from EOCO. He has not been informed of any wrongdoing. He has not been told that he is under any form of investigation," he said.

Nana Boakye further expressed concern over what he described as the increasing use of state institutions to target political opponents, arguing that such actions undermine Ghana's democratic credentials.

He, however, maintained that the NPP supports accountability and would cooperate with any lawful investigation involving its members, provided the appropriate legal procedures are followed.

The planned protest comes after the NPP's General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, stated in a Facebook post that Dennis Miracles Aboagye was arrested by EOCO officials with the assistance of Immigration officers at the Accra International Airport.

According to Kodua, Aboagye's legal team has been denied access to him, his whereabouts remain unknown, and no formal charges have been communicated.

As of the time of publication, EOCO had not publicly commented on the arrest or responded to the allegations made by the NPP.
