Cecilia Dapaah’s in-law said she distributed $10k each to passengers in order to bring $200k into Ghana – Kpebu

A private legal practitioner, Martin Luther Kpebu, has disclosed some intriguing details of the docket on the Cecilia Dapaah case.

According to him, one of the persons who submitted a statement on the matter to the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is a niece of Madam Cecilia Dapaah’s husband, Mr Daniel Osei-Kufuor.

He said the niece, who he did not name, became a person of interest because Mr Osei-Kufuor mentioned her as the one who gave him a sum of $200,000 for keeps. An amount which was also allegedly stolen by the house helps who are currently being prosecuted for stealing.

Mr Kpebu disclosed that in her statement that is included in the docket that was submitted by the OSP to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Mr Osei-Kufuor’s niece wrote how she managed to bring the above-mentioned amount into the country.

“She wrote in her statement that when she was coming to Ghana, she distributed the $200,000 dollars in bits of $10,000 to some of the passengers on the plane she boarded. And upon arrival in Ghana, she retrieved the monies from them. Such cock and bull story. It is in the docket and Tiwaa says there is nothing to prosecute? Mr Kpebu asked.
