Addressing the press on Wednesday, February 12, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng dismissed the allegations, stating unequivocally that the OSP was not involved in the raid.

"Mr. Ofori-Atta, the OSP did not raid your house on Tuesday, 11th February 2025, or on any other day. Mr. Ofori-Atta, the OSP did not cause any persons, however, uniformed or bedecked, to raid your house on Tuesday, 11th February 2025, or on any other day. Mr. Ofori-Atta, that could not have been the OSP, and that is not our style," the statement read.
