GH¢1million For Ex, Hyundai Elantra For Boyfriend – How Cecilia Dapaah’s House Helps ‘Chopped’ Her Millions Of Dollars, Cedis

An Accra Circuit Court has been furnished with details on how two house helps of Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah and her husband, Daniel Osei Kuffour, robbed the couple of US$1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghana Cedis, among others.

According to reports from The Chronicle, 18-year-old Patience Botwe and 30-year-old Sarah Agyei engaged in thievery at the minister’s home in Abelemkpe, Accra, between July and October 2022.

The accused are said to have also stolen personal belongings of Cecilia Abena Dapaah, including clothes valued at GH¢95,000, handbags, perfumes, and jewelry worth US$95,000.

In Court on Thursday, July 20, it was revealed that Patience, who had a duplicate key to the room of the couple was once caught red-handed by Mr Kuffour.

It has emerged in court the many alleged activities Patience engaged in with the amount of money stolen while in hiding with one Benjamin, her boyfriend, in Tamale.

Per reports, while in Tamale, Patience and Benjamin leased a 3-bedroom apartment at the cost of GH¢105,600 and rented a store at the cost of GH¢120,000.

She is also accused of purchasing 3-bedroom house at a cost of US$70,000 at Amrahia. She later furnished the house with the following items – a double decker refrigerator, water dispenser, a television set, washing machine and a chest cooler among others.

Patience is said to have also gifted her boyfriend a Hyundai Elantra at the cost of GH¢80,000. But he later sold it to purchase a Honda Civic.

After showering gifts on her boyfriend, Patience reciprocated the gesture to her father, whom she gave GH¢50,000, and her former boyfriend, who received an amount of GH¢1 million.

Sarah on the other hand, is said to have purchased a 3-bedroom house at Budumburam.

The court granted Sarah bail in the amount of GH¢1 million, and two sureties are required to deposit their Ghana cards with the court’s registrar.

The bail conditions are however subject to review as Judge Susana Ekuful was serving as a relief judge at the time.

During her briefing, Judge Susana Ekuful disclosed that Patience, along with her alleged boyfriends and father, has been remanded into lawful custody.

The court has adjourned the case to August 2, 2023, to allow for further investigations.
