Former Finance Minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta has sued DSP Bismark Boakye Ansah and Chief Inspector Mensah AKA Sir Mensah for trespassing and breaching his right to privacy.
This follows a group of individuals, including some in military and police uniforms, raiding the residence of the former Minister on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
The incident occurred in Cantonments while Ofori-Atta was reportedly out of the country. Some family members, including his wife, were present at the time.
According to eyewitness accounts and security footage, about 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, February 12, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng categorically denied any involvement, stating that the OSP had not authorized or conducted any such raid.
In a writ of summons sighted by Citi News on Wednesday, Mr. Ofori-Atta noted that the defendants’ entry upon and conduct of the search of his property was trespassory and a breach of his right to privacy.
