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 that the OSP engaged in "gargantuan fraud" and "unpardonable deception" by declaring Ofori-Atta a wanted fugitive earlier this year.
The controversy stems from a February 12 announcement by OSP head Kissi Agyebeng, who claimed that Ofori-Atta - then reportedly abroad for medical treatment - was evading justice.
Amidu reveals that the OSP had already obtained an arrest warrant prior to this announcement, casting doubt on the integrity of the public narrative. "The Rambo-style invasion of the suspect's residence on 11 February 2025 lends credence to this fact," Amidu writes, questioning why the OSP failed to disclose the existence of the warrant during its initial media briefing.
