The Ministry of the Interior has initiated two major investigations following disturbing allegations made about threats to the life of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng and the alleged assault of a senior OSP official by police personnel.
The claims came to light when Samuel Appiah Darko, Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the OSP, disclosed on the Newsfile programme on December 6 that the Special Prosecutor had survived two assassination attempts while carrying out his duties. He also alleged that he was handcuffed and beaten by 17 police officers.
In a statement released on Monday, December 8, the Ministry said the allegations carry significant national security implications and could undermine ongoing efforts to strengthen the fight against corruption.
According to the Ministry, preliminary contact with Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng revealed that the alleged assassination attempts reportedly took place before 2025. Security agencies across the country also reportedly have no record of any threat complaints filed by him.
Given the seriousness of the situation, the Interior Minister has directed that two separate investigations be conducted. The first will focus on the alleged attempts on the life of the Special Prosecutor, noting that crimes of such severity remain actionable regardless of when they occurred. The second will examine the claim by Mr. Appiah Darko that he was assaulted by multiple police officers.
The Ministry assured the public that the findings of these investigations will be made public once concluded. It reaffirmed its commitment to protecting all individuals and ensuring that citizens can go about their activities without fear or intimidation.
