The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has clarified the circumstances surrounding its recent search and seizure operation at the offices of Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML), insisting that the action was lawful, professional, and non-destructive.
Speaking to Daily Graphic, the OSP's Director of Strategy, Research and Communication, Samuel Appiah Darko, firmly dismissed rumours that the investigative body vandalised property during the exercise. "This is called the Form 3, and it's titled 'Inventory of items seized or detained during search by an authorised officer,'" he said, referencing the formal documentation filled during the operation. "Our investigators went to the SML offices for a lawful search to take possession of certain information and items which we need to help us in our investigation," Darko explained.
He was categorical in stating, "We did not destroy any property, and we filled the seizure notice duly signed by our officers and representatives of SML." According to him, the Director of IT at SML, Samuel Jacob Prempeh, signed the seizure notice on behalf of the company, and it was witnessed by Rev.
Michael Nyamitei, a colleague from SML.
