“Purported” Raid of Ofori Atta’s Residence Was Staged- OSP

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has asserted that the “purported” raid of Ken Ofori Atta’s home by some individuals was staged.
Twelve individuals are said to have stormed and conducted a search at the residence of the former Finance minister on February 11, 2025.
Commentaries following the act suggested that the OSP was behind it with the lawyers of Ken subsequently writing to inquire from the Office if it was behind the raid.
Responding to the letter publicly, the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng denied the allegations and affirmed that it was staged.
“Our intelligence points us to state that the purported raid on Mr Ofori Atta’s residence was staged or at best an imposter action in an attempt to court disfavour for the OSP and to derail the investigation.”
He believes that this act was staged to derail efforts to pursue investigations opened against the former Minister in relation to Strategic Mobilization Ghana Limited & GRA Contract; ECG and Beijing Technology Limited Contract Termination; National Cathedral Project; Procurement of Ambulances; and GRA’s Tax Refund Account Payments.
However, he stated, “The OSP is never derailed by such occurrences and the investigations will continue as by law prescribed.”
Publicly replying to the lawyers, he stated, “Mr Ofori Atta, the OSP did not raid your house on Tuesday, 11th February 2025 or on any other day. The OSP did not cause any person however uniformed or bedecked to raid your house on Tuesday, 11th February 2025 or on any other day. That could not have been the OSP and that is not our style.”
“If the OSP enters into your premises, you will not be in doubt as to whether it was the OSP that had come and your lawyers would not have cause to do an enquiry to ascertain whether it was the OSP. We have our unique method of conducting searches and we have uniquely designed an insignia in identifying ourselves and not just by statement that we are from the OSP.”
