In a dramatic turn of events in the ongoing trial of Patience Botwe, the former maid of ex-Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah, Henry Osei Kwabena, Cecilia’s brother, took the stand to testify. His testimony centered around the origins of the contentious $800,000 and valuable gold regalia, which have been at the heart of the case.

Kwabena revealed that the substantial sum of money and the gold regalia in question originally belonged to their deceased brother, Nana Akwasi Essen Il, also known as Charles Dapaah. According to Kwabena, these assets came into Cecilia Dapaah’s possession following their brother’s death.

The testimony provides a new layer of complexity to the case, potentially shifting the focus from the alleged theft by the former maid to the circumstances surrounding how Cecilia Dapaah came to possess such a significant amount of money and valuable items. The trial continues to unfold, with Kwabena’s testimony expected to have a significant impact on the proceedings and public perception.
