Fresh tension has erupted within Ghana’s security and anti-corruption institutions following shocking reports that the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), now known as the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), has allegedly been ordered to storm the residence of the Special Prosecutor for a secret operation. The explosive revelation was made by broadcast journalist Mugabe Maase, who claimed that new evidence had leaked, prompting the move.
According to the reports circulating across social media and political platforms, the intelligence operation is allegedly linked to sensitive documents and materials said to be in the possession of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP). Sources claim the BNI was directed to retrieve certain classified evidence believed to have been concealed or withheld from ongoing corruption investigations involving high-profile figures.
In a bold revelation during his radio program, Mugabe Maase alleged that the supposed operation was triggered after insiders leaked credible intelligence indicating that some files under investigation had been hidden at the residence of the Special Prosecutor. “The BNI has been ordered to move in. Evidence has leaked, and those files cannot disappear,” Mugabe reportedly stated, stressing that the security agencies are treating the issue with urgency.
This revelation has since set off a wave of speculation and debate among political commentators, with many questioning the motive behind such an operation. Some analysts believe the move, if confirmed, could point to growing tension between the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and other state security institutions.
The OSP, currently headed by Kissi Agyebeng, has recently found itself at the center of controversy following reports of investigations into government officials, asset seizures, and conflicts with the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO). Just last week, reports surfaced that EOCO officials had clashed with the OSP over the handling of frozen assets and the release of certain case files.
Political observers say the latest development, involving the alleged BNI operation, adds to the growing perception of division and mistrust among Ghana’s key anti-corruption agencies. “It’s clear something serious is happening behind the scenes,” one political analyst commented. “If the BNI has truly been ordered to act, it means the issue has escalated to a national security level.”
Meanwhile, Mugabe Maase insists that his information is credible and came directly from reliable insider sources. He further alleged that certain top government officials were aware of the planned move, which could take place discreetly to avoid public attention. “This is not rumor. It’s happening quietly, but it’s big,” he added during his broadcast.
However, as of now, neither the BNI (NIB) nor the Office of the Special Prosecutor has issued an official statement confirming or denying the claims. The alleged development has, nonetheless, caused widespread discussion online, with many Ghanaian demanding transparency and accountability from both institutions.
Some social media users have expressed fears that the incident could signal an attempt to cover up critical evidence in ongoing corruption cases, while others believe it may be a lawful operation aimed at ensuring proper custodianship of national documents.
As the story continues to develop, Ghanaian await official clarification from both the OSP and national security agencies. For now, the nation remains on edge, as the alleged power struggle between Ghana’s anti-corruption institutions deepens with every new revelation.
