Information that Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, the Special Prosecutor (OSP), escaped two murder attempts while performing his duty for the Republic has caught the attention of the Ministry of the Interior.
On December 6, 2025, Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko, the Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor, brought up the assassination attempt on Newsfile, an Accra television station.
On the same episode, he also said that 17 police officers had battered and handcuffed him.
Beyond the security ramifications of these allegations, the government’s efforts to fight corruption, which have gotten more intense since it entered office, may be jeopardized if such threats to accountability institution staff are real.
As a result, the Ministry has taken the situation seriously.
