In a fiery new open letter, Ghana's former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, has accused the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) under Kissi Agyebeng of abusing its power in a deliberate plot to ruin the international reputation of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
Amidu, who was the country's first Special Prosecutor, claims that even before gathering sufficient evidence for prosecution, the OSP secured an arrest warrant on February 12, 2025, and collaborated with INTERPOL Ghana to label Ofori-Atta a "fugitive from justice." According to him, the real goal was not justice but public humiliation. "The OSP's agenda is to abuse law enforcement powers to disgrace a once-powerful Minister before the international community," Amidu alleged.
He argued that the move to push for an INTERPOL Red Notice was a premeditated campaign to collapse Ofori-Atta's image, regardless of the strength of the case against him.
Amidu further raised serious questions about national security protocol, noting that cases with such high-level ramifications should involve briefing the sitting President - a practice he says he strictly followed during his tenure.
