NPP, police clash at EOCO over Miracles Aboagye’s arrest

A heated confrontation erupted at the headquarters of Ghana's Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) on Monday, July 13, 2026. Police officers and members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) clashed as tensions escalated over the arrest of the party's Communications Officer, Dennis Miracles Aboagye.

EOCO officials detained Aboagye at Kotoka International Airport, leading to the immediate mobilization of NPP supporters and party officials to the EOCO premises. The situation quickly devolved into a tense standoff, with both sides reportedly engaging in a verbal and physical altercation.

The incident highlights the volatile political climate in Ghana and the deep divisions between political parties and state security agencies. The arrest of a prominent party figure has clearly galvanized a strong reaction from the NPP, demonstrating their readiness to defend their members against perceived state overreach.
