Paul Adom-Otchere, former Ghana Airports Company Board Chairman, has filed a lawsuit against the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) over a directive requiring him to declare his properties and income. The case, filed at the High Court of Justice in Accra, challenges the legality of the OSP’s directive and its associated threats.
Adom-Otchere argues that the OSP’s directive is unlawful and an abuse of power, violating the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959) and its regulations. He claims that the threats of legal consequences, property confiscation, and detention issued following the directive constitute harassment and violate his fundamental human rights.
The lawsuit seeks an order to quash the directive, prevent the OSP from detaining him or curtailing his liberties, and claims general damages and litigation costs, including legal fees. Specifically, Adom-Otchere is challenging the directive on the grounds of illegality, arbitrariness, unreasonableness, and unfairness on the part of the Special Prosecutor.
The case is being handled by Dame & Partners, with lawyers Yaw Boampong and Adu Brempong representing the applicant. The matter is now before the High Court, where a hearing date will be scheduled to determine the legality of the Special Prosecutor’s directive.
