The former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited, Paul Adom-Otchere, received a warm welcome from his family following his release from the custody of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) on Friday, August 1, 2025.
Mr. Adom-Otchere was released in the company of former Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, and his legal team.
In a video shared on social media, Mr. Adom-Otchere was seen reuniting with his family at their residence, embracing his children and loved ones before being served refreshments.
His wife, visibly relieved, recounted how individuals and institutions, including former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, reached out to offer support.
“If not for this incident, I would not have known how many people had my number. Calls came in constantly. Nana Addo and Dr. Bawumia called and expressed concern,” Rosemary Beryl-Archer Otchere said.
She also shared that a police officer had commended her strength throughout the ordeal.
Mr. Adom-Otchere described his experience at the OSP, noting that although he had initial concerns, the holding facility was not as dire as portrayed in public accounts.

He expressed appreciation for legal counsel received, including advice from private legal practitioner Thaddeus Sory to attend the OSP with Godfred Dame.
He also disclosed that Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin advised him to remain calm during the process, though he admitted it was difficult given the OSP’s stance.
Mr. Adom-Otchere stated he would not discuss details of his experience at the OSP on his television programe.
His release comes after the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) approved revised bail conditions for Paul Adom-Otchere, the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), following negotiations with his legal counsel.
In a statement released on Friday, August 1, the OSP confirmed that the revised terms meet the objectives of the original bail conditions and have been secured by the Jospong Group of Companies, acting as surety.
Adom-Otchere was recently charged by the OSP in connection with a revenue assurance contract between GACL and a private firm, allegedly awarded without full board approval. He was initially detained after failing to meet bail requirements, citing his lack of ownership of landed property in Ghana.
