Following the revelations, the Office of the Special Prosecutor took swift action and arrested Madam Cecelia Dappah, intensifying public interest in the case.
In a shocking turn of events, the Office of the Special Prosecutor later revealed that an additional 17.5 million was found inside Madam Cecilia Dapaah’s home, further fueling the frenzy surrounding the case.
Amidst the unfolding scandal, Mr. Daniel Osei Kuffuor who is Madam Cecelia Dapaah’s husband and an astute architect has stepped forward to claim ownership of the 300,000 euros allegedly stolen by the housemaids.
Madam Cecelia Dapaah has also asserted that she personally owns only $200,000 out of the $1 million involved.
The former minister went on to explain to the court that the remaining $800,000 actually belonged to her late brother, Nana Akwasi Essan II, who held the esteemed position of Otumfuo’s Numuahene.
According to Madam Cecilia Dappah, the money was intended for a real estate development project, but unfortunately, her brother passed away before the plan could come to fruition.
As further alleged by Paul Adom Otchere, the $800,000 was part of a significant investment aimed at bolstering the real estate sector in the country.
The sudden and untimely passing of Madam Cecelia Dappah’s brother tragically halted these ambitious plans.
