The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has dropped all cases against former Sanitation Minister Cecilia Abena Dapaah.

This comes after the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng, on Thursday, January 25, withdrew all pending cases before the court against the former minister.

The Accra High Court has since ordered the OSP to release all the assets it had seized from Mrs Dapaah within 72 hours.

The cases before the court include an application for confirmation of the seizure of her assets and a criminal case for failing to declare her assets.

When the case was called on Thursday, the Special Prosecutor requested an in-chamber hearing, which was subsequently granted.

Ms Dapaah’s court hurdles began when seven persons, including her house help, were hauled before the court for stealing $1 million, €300,000, and other valuables from her residence.

The OSP subsequently filed a motion to freeze her bank accounts and monies recovered after searching her residence.

Aside from the funds in her accounts, US$590,000 and over GH¢2.730,000 were also recovered from her residence on July 24.

But now, the office has no case against the minister.
