The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has issued an urgent, high-stakes directive rallying all party faithful, youth wings, and sympathizers to march en masse to the headquarters of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) today, Monday, July 13, Following the dramatic and highly controversial arrest of prominent political strategist Dennis Miracles Aboagye at the Kotoka International Airport. The call to action marks a major escalation in the opposition’s resistance against what it terms a relentless, state-sponsored campaign of political witch-hunting targeting key NPP appointees.
The brewing confrontation follows the late-Sunday ambush by state security operatives who intercepted Mr. Aboagye, the former campaign spokesperson for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, immediately upon his arrival in the country. The arrest, executed just hours after Mr. Aboagye declared his intention to contest for the NPP’s National Communications Director position, has been heavily condemned by party leadership as an aggressive, partisan maneuver designed to destabilize the party’s internal structures and muzzle its most potent voices.
Mobilizing the party’s rank and file, Nana Boakye declared that the NPP will no longer sit idly by while the state apparatus is weaponized to abuse the constitutional rights of its members. The National Organiser emphasized that the protest is not merely a defense of Mr. Aboagye, but a stand against a dangerous democratic precedent where citizen protections under Article 14(2)—including immediate access to legal counsel—are being flagrantly denied by law enforcement bodies acting on political directives.
“We are demanding the immediate and unconditional release of Dennis Miracles Aboagye,” Nana Boakye stated, warning that the state’s ongoing strategy of executing high-profile airport arrests over the weekend to deliberately bypass court schedules has crossed the line from legal accountability into pure psychological warfare. He urged all demonstrators to remain resolute, unified, and peaceful but unyielding in their demand for justice when they converge at the EOCO premises this morning.
Senior NPP figures, including General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong and Ofoase/Ayirebi MP Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, already putting their full weight behind the agitation, the march on EOCO signals a definitive shift in the party’s strategy, turning localized legal harassment into a nationwide battleground for political survival and constitutional rights.
