A CCTV image has surfaced showing the team that raided the private residence of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
The raid took place at Ofori-Atta’s home in Cantonments while he was reportedly out of the country.
Channel One News sources confirm that the former minister has been in the United States for medical treatment since early 2025, having officially notified the Chief of Staff of his travel.Local event listings and tickets
However, some family members, including his wife, were present at the residence during the incident.
Details of the Raid
Eyewitness accounts and security footage indicate that approximately 12 individuals were involved in the operation. Among them, five were dressed in military uniforms, one in a police uniform, and the rest in plain clothes. It remains unclear whether any items were taken or what the motive behind the raid was.
Initial speculation suggested that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) was behind the operation.
However, during a press conference on Wednesday, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng categorically denied any involvement, stating that the OSP had not authorized or conducted any such raid.
He further suggested that the incident might have been staged to discredit his office and derail ongoing investigations into Ofori-Atta.
CCTV Image Challenges “Staged” Raid Claims
Shortly after the press conference, images from CCTV footage inside Ofori-Atta’s residence emerged, allegedly identifying the leader of the group responsible for the raid.
The individual in the image is a well-known businessman who was recently facing trial but was acquitted by the court. He is also a recognized member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The emergence of this footage challenges claims that Ofori-Atta staged the raid to divert attention from the ongoing investigation against him. Instead, it raises further questions about the identity and motivations of those behind the operation.
Security agencies are yet to comment on the authenticity of the image or whether the individuals involved will face questioning. Meanwhile, the OSP has reiterated its commitment to pursuing its investigations without interference.
