His remarks come in response to recent discussions following a raid on the home of Ken Ofori-Atta, Ghana’s finance minister.

In a Facebook post, Agyenim-Boateng recalled an incident from 2017, when gun-wielding NPP supporters raided his home shortly after the party assumed power.

He described how military personnel and individuals in civilian clothing broke into his residence, seizing two of his cars. These cars were later returned by the police after several months, as they were found to belong to him and not to the state.

He questioned the sudden outrage from NPP MPs over home invasions, pointing out the irony that many appointees from the previous Mahama government faced similar treatment when the NPP took office.

“It’s interesting how suddenly, NPP MPs are concerned about home invasions and are falling over themselves to quote laws against the very things that their government did to many appointees of the then former Mahama government,” he remarked.

Agyenim-Boateng’s comments follow the revelation of CCTV footage showing an alleged raid at Ken Ofori-Atta's private residence on February 11, 2025, while he was out of the country.

Eyewitnesses reported that around 12 individuals, including military and police officers, were involved in the incident.

This new development has reignited discussions surrounding the legality and morality of such actions, especially given the political context in which they occur.

Meanwhile, Ofori-Atta has been declared a fugitive by the Office of the Special Prosecutor, following allegations of financial misconduct, including the controversial National Cathedral project and dealings with Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd.
