The former Ghana Airports Company Board Chairman, Paul Adom-Otchere, has clarified his reasoning for dragging the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to court.
Reports had earlier suggested, Paul Adom-Otchere was challenging the OSP directive requiring him to declare his properties and income.
The veteran broadcaster filed his case at the High Court of Justice, Accra, under suit number GJ/0068/2026.
In the court documents, Adom-Otchere is seeking judicial review.
He argues that the OSP directive issued on August 4, 2025, is unlawful and amounts to an abuse of power.
Adom-Otchere is calling on the court to quash the directive on the grounds that it violates the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act.
The lawsuit also detailed that the threats of legal consequences, property confiscation, and detention issued following the directive constitute harassment which violates Adom-Otchere’s fundamental human rights.
He is also seeking an order to prevent the OSP from detaining him or otherwise curtailing his liberties.
The Adom-Otchere case is being handled by Dame & Partners, with lawyers Yaw Boampong and Adu Brempong representing the applicant.
However, in a post on Facebook, shared by Good Evening Ghana’s official page, Paul Adom-Otchere clarified he had already filled the forms requested by the OSP and submitted the same on the 23rd October, 2025.
He added that the purpose of the legal action is to settle the law and procedure on the matter.
The post stated, “The attention of Paul Adom-Otchere has been drawn to reports which suggest that he seeks to institute a legal action to prevent the OSP from having access to information on his assets through an asset declaration form issued by the OSP.
For the avoidance of doubt, Mr Adom-Otchere already filled the forms requested by the OSP and submitted the same, on the 23rd October, 2025”.
He added, “He submitted a letter of protest, dated the 23rd of October, 2025, and attached the same to the form, indicating concern about the process.
As a matter of record, the OSP’s Assets declaration forms have been completed and submitted to the OSP on the 23rd of October, 2025.
Mr Adom-Otchere remains committed to assisting the OSP to bring finality to the issues in question. The purpose of the legal action is to settle the law and procedure on the matter”.
Backgroud
Some months ago, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) ordered Paul Adom-Otchere to present himself for questioning in a revenue assurance audit deal.
Adom-Octhere was later detained after he failed to meet the OSP bail conditions of providing two landed properties.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) later announced that they have accepted the revised bail conditions proposed by Paul Adom Otchere’s legal team.
Adom-Otchere later returned home to his family after Jospong Group of Companies acted as surety, meeting the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) revised bail conditions.
Adom-Otchere is under investigation by the OSP for suspected corruption and corruption-related offences in the award of a revenue assurance contract by the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) to Evatex Limited.
