Paul Adom-Otchere was detained by the OSP along with two other individuals
Lenin Anane Adjei, lawyer of embattled former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited, Paul Adom-Otchere, has said that they do not know the whereabouts of their client following his detention by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV on the evening of Thursday, July 31, 2025, Anane Adjei indicated he has not been able to get in touch with his client after he was driven off the OSP’s premises.
He said that they had received information that Adom-Otchere had been taken to some offices of the National Security, but they did not find him at these offices.
“As I speak, I’m unable to say for a fact where our client is, except to mention that he’s been moved from the Office of the Special Prosecutor. We are getting conflicting reports as to his location.
“We’ve been to the National Security Head Office, and we’ve been informed he’s not there. And so we are still making frantic efforts to locate specifically where he’s been taken to,” he said.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor detained Adom-Otchere and two others – Otchere Kwame Baffour Awuah, Group Executive, Commercial Services, GACL, and Albert Adjetey Adjei-Laryea, CEO of Devnest Systems – after they honoured an invitation by the OSP to answer questions over possible procurement breaches in the revenue assurance contract between GACL and a company owned by the proprietor of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML).
The OSP indicated that the three men have been charged and were detained after failing to meet the bail conditions that were set for their release.
“The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has interviewed and formally charged the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited, Paul Adom-Otchere, and two others. However, Mr Adom-Otchere has so far been unable to meet his bail conditions.
“He is required to present two landed properties (of no specific value) registered in his name. However, he has informed the OSP that he does not own landed property in Ghana. As a result, he remains in custody until the bail terms are satisfied,” the OSP said.
