The simmering legal tensions between the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and media personality Paul Adom-Otchere have erupted into a full-scale High Court application.<\/p>\n

Mr. Adom-Otchere, the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), has initiated legal action seeking to quash a highly controversial directive from the OSP demanding that he declare his property and income.<\/p>\n

The legal challenge, filed at the High Court (General Jurisdiction Division), pits one of Ghana\u2019s most powerful investigative bodies against a veteran mediaman, signalling a major test of the OSP\u2019s expansive powers under the law.<\/p>\n

The Core of the Dispute: Unlawful Directive<\/strong><\/p>\n

The application, which was filed on the instructions of Mr. Adom-Otchere, attacks the legality of the OSP\u2019s directive issued on 4 August 2025. <\/p>\n

The core argument advanced by his legal team, led by former Attorney-General Godfred Dame, is that the directive is fundamentally unlawful, violates the provisions of the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959) and its regulations, and constitutes a clear abuse of power by the Special Prosecutor.<\/p>\n

The OSP, headed by Kissi Agyebeng, issued the property and income declaration order as part of its ongoing investigation into Mr. Adom-Otchere.<\/p>\n
