BREAKING:Ken Ofori-Atta sues National Security for trespassing on his property

The incident in question occurred on February 11, 2025, while Mr. Ofori-Atta was abroad for medical treatment. According to reports, approximately 12 individuals—comprising five in military uniforms, one in a police uniform, and others in plain clothes—entered his property without prior notice or consent. They conducted an extensive search of the premises, including private areas such as bedrooms and closets, without presenting a warrant or explaining the purpose of their search. Additionally, a member of the team reportedly filmed the entire operation using a cell phone, further exacerbating the breach of privacy. Mr. Ofori-Atta's domestic staff, present during the raid, were reportedly traumatized by the incident, suffering from severe shock and anxiety. The former minister contends that the raid has caused damage to his reputation both domestically and internationally, exposing him to public ridicule and negatively impacting his standing in the international community. In his lawsuit, Mr. Ofori-Atta is seeking several remedies, including a declaration that the defendants' actions were unlawful, damages for trespass and breach of privacy, and a perpetual injunction to prevent further interference with his property and privacy rights. He is also seeking aggravated damages and costs. The defendants have been commanded to enter an appearance within eight days of being served with the writ. Initial reports had linked the operation to the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP). However, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng denied any involvement during a press conference on February 12, describing the raid as a staged act intended to discredit his office. This legal action underscores the ongoing concerns regarding the conduct of security agencies in Ghana and the imperative to uphold citizens' rights to privacy and property.
