An anonymous officer at the Office of the Special Prosecutor who witnessed the clash at the OSP has given supposed details of the incident which involved Martin Kpebu.
The female officer indicated that the clash started when the officers, whom Martin Kpebu identified as soldiers, cautioned him against going out to grant interviews after parking.
Speaking during a panel discussion on JoyNews’ NewsFile programme on December 6, 2025, the anonymous OSP officer stated, “When I was walking into the premises of the office, I noticed there was an interview being conducted by some guy from the media with Mr Kpebu. I got into the premises; the officer on duty let him know that it was being conducted quite close to the place, and then they asked him to move away. So I was still on the compound when he then walked in.
“Right at the gate, the men let him know that anytime he comes to the office, once he parks, he’s supposed to go straight to do his business — as in go straight to the reception — and that they don’t do things like this here. Now his (Kpebu’s) response was that he can do what he wants; they can’t tell him what to do. And these men kept insisting that you can’t do that here.”
She added, “Next thing I know, it’s escalating to insults. There was the F word being used. There were the other ones.”
The anonymous OSP officer insisted, “The verbal abuse — I heard it from Mr Kpebu. I heard Mr Kpebu use those words. He used the F word; he used the other insult. Aside from that, there was no physical abuse; it was the verbal abuse, which I heard from him”.
“What I can speak to is the fact that these men kept insisting that they don’t do that here. And his response was, ‘I can do what I want; you can’t tell me what to do.’ They stood their ground, saying the same thing to him. And then there was a flare-up,” she added.
Meanwhile, Martin Kpebu, following his release from the custody of the Special Prosecutor’s Office (OSP), stated, “I know I have not done anything wrong, so I knew I would be released”.
He revealed that his arrest stemmed from a verbal confrontation with a military officer stationed at the OSP.
Mr Kpebu recounted, “Then the next thing, the soldier said I am stupid, so I also turned and said he is also stupid, and so we exchanged words”.
“I know I have not done anything wrong, so I knew I would be released,” he stated.
“Then a colleague of his, another soldier, shouted that next time I do that, I will see. In Ghanaian English, ‘you will see’ means he will cause me some harm, or there will be consequences, even if not physical.
So I turned and gave the same answer; he had no right. I’m not a suspect, and even if I was, could he do that? So I said he had no right”.
“Then the next thing I knew, he said I’m stupid. That’s what the soldier said. So I turned back and told him he is also stupid. We exchanged a few words, and then one of my lawyers pulled me so we could go in,” he added, stating he would never attack any officer who had done nothing to him.
He added that his arrest confirms that Kissi Agyebeng is incompetent.
“I will petition for his removal. I have 15 allegations against him,” he once again revealed.
“What they have actually done is that this is a suicide mission that Kissi Agyebeng’s OSP has embarked on. He can pretend he has nothing to do with it, but he is the head,” Kpebu stated.
