The Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) has challenged the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to provide concrete evidence supporting its claim that former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta may have staged a raid on his own residence. The group has further called for the resignation of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng if he fails to substantiate the allegations.
In a statement, AFAG criticized the OSP for making serious claims without presenting proof, arguing that such an approach undermines public trust and damages both the credibility of the institution and the reputation of Ofori-Atta. The group questioned the logic behind the assertion, demanding clarification on what evidence exists to suggest that the former minister orchestrated the break-in.

AFAG also took issue with the OSP’s decision to declare Ofori-Atta a fugitive, stating that such a designation is typically reserved for individuals who refuse to cooperate with law enforcement or ignore lawful summons. Since the OSP’s press conference on February 12, 2025, AFAG noted that no clear evidence has been presented to support the claim that Ofori-Atta has failed to cooperate.
The group further warned that failing to follow due process before declaring someone a fugitive could infringe on constitutional rights and create the perception that the actions of the OSP are politically motivated rather than legally justified. AFAG insisted that corruption investigations must be transparent, lawful, and based on verifiable facts, not speculation.
“If the OSP cannot substantiate these claims, Kissi Agyebeng should resign to protect the integrity of the institution,” AFAG stated.
