The Ministry of Interior has ordered a full-scale investigation into Sammy Darko, the Director of Strategy, Communication, and Research at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), who alleged he was beaten by 17 policemen.
Sammy Darko, the Director of Strategy, Communication, and Research at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), has revealed that the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng has survived two assassination attempts.
According to Sammy Darko, the Special Prosecutor has survived two attempted attacks on his life, and he (Sammy Darko) was reportedly handcuffed and assaulted by seventeen police officers.
Sammy Darko is quoted by JOY NEWS to have said, “The Special Prosecutor has survived two assassination attempts, and I have been handcuffed and beaten by 17 policemen”.
In response, the Minister for the Interior has ordered two separate investigations.
One of the alleged assassination attempts on Mr Agyebeng and another on Mr Sammy Darko’s claim.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry, contacts with Mr Kissi Agyebeng revealed that the assassination attempts on him, as claimed, happened before 2025.
They further revealed, there is no record or report of such threats against his life at any police station or at any of the state security agencies in the country.
The Interior Ministry statement read, “The attention of the Ministry of the Interior has been drawn to information that the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Mr Kissi Agyebeng, has survived two assassination attempts while discharging his duties to the Republic.
The Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor, Mr Samuel Appiah Darko, mentioned the assassination attempt on Newsfile, a television station in Accra, on December 6, 2025. He also claimed on the same programme that he had been handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.
Beyond the security implications of these claims, such dangers to personnel of accountability institutions, if true, can undermine the government’s efforts to combat corruption, which have intensified since it took office. The Ministry has therefore taken up the matter with the seriousness it deserves. Here are some preliminary findings on the alleged assassination attempt”.
They further added, “Since crime does not expire, the Ministry has ordered a full-scale investigation into the claim of assassination attempts.
The Ministry has also ordered an investigation into the claim by Mr Samuel Appiah Darko that he was handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel”.
The Interior Ministry further added, “The Ministry will update the public on the outcome of these investigations and the actions to be taken.
The Ministry of Interior reiterates its commitment to protecting all lives and properties to ensure that all Ghanaians can conduct all their lawful affairs without any fear for their safety”.
