The OSP announced during a press briefing on Thursday, August 8, that Mahama was identified as Government Official One by the UK and US courts during their investigations.
"The OSP confirms the identity of the following individuals. The individual described as Government Official 1 by the UK court and Individual One by the US court is John Dramani Mahama. He is a citizen of Ghana and was the Vice-President of Ghana from 7 January 2009 to 24 July 2012," the OSP stated. He, however, said there's no evidence of corruption against Adam Mahama and John Mahama, and there will be no criminal prosecution against them
John Dramani Mahama, a former President and now flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), was Vice President at the time the incident occurred. Ghana purchased three Military Airplanes - C295s - from Airbus, receiving the first C295 in November 2011, the second in April 2012, and the third in November 2015.
