Court Clears Edward Akufo as Judge Finds No Evidence He Used Presidential Jet for Personal Trips

According to a report by TV3 Ghana on Monday October 19, 2026, the High Court has ruled that there is no evidence to support claims that Edward Akufo-Addo, popularly known as Bompty, used the presidential jet for personal trips.

The ruling addresses allegations surrounding the alleged personal use of Ghana’s presidential aircraft. The issue has attracted public attention because of concerns about the use of state resources and the need for accountability in public office.

According to the report, the court found no evidence to support the claims against Edward Akufo-Addo. The decision highlights the importance of presenting credible evidence when allegations are made against individuals, particularly in matters involving public resources and government property.

The presidential jet is a state asset intended to support official presidential duties and other authorised government activities. Claims about its use for personal purposes can therefore raise questions about public expenditure, accountability and the proper management of state resources.

However, allegations must be supported by evidence before they can be established as facts. The court’s ruling indicates that the claims concerning Edward Akufo-Addo’s alleged personal trips on the presidential jet were not supported by the evidence presented before it.

The development is significant because court decisions play an important role in determining disputes and clarifying issues that attract public interest. It also serves as a reminder that allegations made in the public space should be assessed based on verifiable facts rather than speculation.

The ruling may also contribute to discussions about the management of government assets and the need for transparency in public administration.

As the matter continues to attract attention, the court’s findings provide an important basis for understanding the allegations against Edward Akufo-Addo. The central point remains that the High Court found no evidence to support the claim that he used the presidential jet for personal trips.
