Efia Odo, a musician and social media influencer from Ghana, gave her opinion on the Cecilia Dapaah incident.
The Minister for Sanitation, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, encountered controversy in July 2023 when court records showed that two of her domestic staff were accused of stealing sizeable sums of money and priceless items from her.
Around $1 million, $300,000, as well as various pieces of clothing and jewelry worth a considerable amount were among the stolen goods.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) launched an investigation into her wealth as a result of the revelation. Authorities searched her homes as a result, and at her Abelemkpe home they found $590,000 and Gh2.7 million.
The sanitation minister was criticized by Efia Odo for not trying to improve her appearance despite having access to significant resources when she posted her opinions on Twitter. She made a specific mention of the poor quality of her wigs, remarking on them.
Efia Odo made a lighthearted remark in her tweet: “Even with all that money, she couldn’t buy a decent wig. The wig is stiffer than wood.”
Many of her followers, however, reacted negatively to her tweet because they thought that she was being shallow and trivializing a serious issue.
All that money and still couldn’t buy a good wig. Wig stiffer than wood https://t.co/AfcnxtjRHY

Additionally, it discovered 700,000 in cash and 1 million cedis in investments in her Societe General account.
