The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has announced major progress in its ongoing investigation into alleged financial misconduct at the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), revealing that it has seized and frozen assets valued at more than GH¢100 million and over US$100,000.
According to a statement shared on the OSP’s official Facebook page on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, additional assets are currently being traced as part of a broader financial crime investigation.
“The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has already seized and frozen assets valued at more than GH¢100 million and over US$100,000, with further assets under active tracing,” the statement read.
The OSP indicated that the seizures were backed by extensive documentary, banking, and transaction evidence linking the properties and funds to alleged criminal activities.
“These actions are grounded in solid documentary, banking, and transactional records that connect the seized assets to the suspected offences,” the Office added.
Officials highlighted that the operation forms part of the OSP’s wider mission to promote transparency, safeguard public resources, and strengthen accountability within Ghana’s governance framework.
“This case marks a significant step in protecting public funds, ensuring accountability in the petroleum sector, and reinforcing the principle that no public official is above the law,” the Office noted.
The OSP further stressed that the asset recovery exercise underscores its firm commitment to fighting corruption and illicit financial flows, pledging that all individuals implicated in major economic crimes will face due scrutiny.
“Given the gravity of the allegations and the magnitude of the losses involved, this prosecution will serve as a crucial test of Ghana’s determination to combat corruption,” the statement concluded.
