STATEMENT FROM CECILIA ABENA DAPAAH
I refer to publications dated 21/07/2023 suggesting that I own one million dollars, three hundred thousand euros and millions of cedis which have been stolen from my house.
There are noticeable inconsistencies between what is being discussed in the public domain and the thrust of the original complaint on the matter.
I am taking steps to examine the origins of the inconsistencies and will provide a detailed response in the coming days.
