Former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu has launched a scathing attack on the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), accusing it of deliberately misleading the public in its high-profile pursuit of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
In a blistering open letter, Amidu alleges the OSP engaged in "gargantuan fraud" and "unpardonable deception" in declaring Ofori-Atta a wanted fugitive earlier this year.
The controversy stems from OSP head Kissi Agyebeng's February 12 declaration that Ofori-Atta - then abroad for medical treatment - was evading justice.
Amidu reveals the OSP had already obtained an arrest warrant before this announcement, making their public narrative suspect. "The Rambo style invasion of the suspect's residence on 11 February 2025 lends credence to this fact," Amidu writes, questioning why the OSP didn't disclose the warrant's existence during their initial media briefing.
