In connection with the alleged embezzlement of a substantial sum of money and personal possessions from her residence in Abelempke, Accra, authorities have made an apprehension. This occurrence has culminated in five individuals being brought to trial for their participation in the unlawful act.

Authorized officers from the OSP have confirmed in a statement that Ms. Dapaah is presently undergoing questioning concerning the matter. The public's clamor for a comprehensive inquiry into Abena Dapaah's financial matters has surged due to the continuous media attention on the ongoing trial of the five defendants accused of pilfering millions.

According to reports, two house helps, Patience Botwe (18 years old) and Sarah Agyei (30 years old), along with three accomplices, allegedly stole $1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghanaian cedis from Abena Dapaah and her husband between July and October 2022.

However, Ms. Dapaah has contested the amounts listed on the prosecution charge sheets, asserting that they do not align with the figures she reported to the police.
