According to a social media post by the OSP, lawyers for Adom-Otchere, who is also the host of the Good Evening Ghana show on Metro TV, argued that the directive issued on August 4, 2025, was unlawful.
The lawyers, led by Godfred Dame, the former Attorney General, further claimed that the directive violated the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959) and its regulations, and constituted an abuse of power.
The Good Evening Ghana host, through his lawyers, sought a declaration from the High Court in Accra that the OSP’s directive and alleged threats of confiscation, detention, and legal consequences were unlawful and amounted to harassment.
"He is also asking for an order prohibiting the OSP from detaining him should he refuse to declare his property and income to the office by the stated deadline, among other reliefs," the OSP wrote.

Adom-Otchere detained by the OSP
In July 2025, Adom-Otchere was detained overnight by the Office of the Special Prosecutor after failing to meet bail conditions. He was required to present two landed properties registered in his name as part of the bail conditions.
He was detained alongside Otchere Kwame Baffour Awuah, Group Executive for Commercial Services at Ghana Airports Company Limited, and Albert Adjetey Adjei-Laryea, the CEO of Devnest Systems.
The renowned broadcast journalist was charged in connection with an ongoing investigation into a revenue assurance contract at the Ghana Airports Company Limited.
The investigation focuses on alleged procurement breaches involving the award of a sole-sourced contract to a private firm reportedly owned by the proprietor of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd.
