Paul Adom-Otchere, former Ghana Airports Company Board Chairman, has filed a lawsuit against the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), challenging a directive requiring him to declare his properties and income.
The case has been filed in the High Court of Justice, Accra, under suit number GJ/0068/2026.
According to the court documents, Adom-Otchere is seeking judicial review, arguing that the directive issued on August 4, 2025, by the Special Prosecutor is unlawful and amounts to an abuse of power.
He is requesting the court to quash the directive on the grounds that it violates the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959) and its associated regulations.
The lawsuit also contends that the threats of legal consequences, property confiscation, and detention issued following the directive constitute harassment and violate Adom-Otchere’s fundamental human rights.
The former board chairman is seeking an order to prevent the OSP from detaining him or otherwise curtailing his liberties.
In addition to challenging the directive, Adom-Otchere is claiming general damages and litigation costs, including legal fees. The legal grounds cited include alleged illegality, arbitrariness, unreasonableness, and unfairness on the part of the Special Prosecutor.
The case is being handled by Dame & Partners, with lawyers Yaw Boampong and Adu Brempong representing the applicant.
The matter is now before the High Court, where a hearing date will be scheduled to determine the legality of the Special Prosecutor’s directive.
