Eight to Testify in Ongoing NPA-UPPF Corruption Case

Eight witnesses are set to testify in the ongoing alleged National Petroleum Authority (NPA) corruption scandal, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has announced.

It comes after the High Court continued the Case Management Conference (CMC) in the case and concluded disclosures in respect of the second witness during today’s session.

In a Facebook post, the Office reported that “The Republic intends to call a total of eight witnesses.”

The Court adjourned, rescheduling the hearing to September 29, September 30, October 1, and October 6, 2026, for continuation of the CMC.

Former Chief Executive Officer of the NPA, Dr Mustapha Abdul Hamid, along with seven co-accused — including senior officials and associated companies — is standing trial on 54 criminal counts, including extortion, abuse of public office, and money laundering.

The scheme involves more than GH¢291 million and significant amounts in foreign currency collected from oil marketing companies and bulk transporters between 2022 and 2024.
