Initial speculation suggested that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) was behind the operation.
However, during a press conference on Wednesday, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng categorically denied any involvement, stating that the OSP had not authorized or conducted any such raid.
He further suggested that the incident might have been staged to discredit his office and derail ongoing investigations into Ofori-Atta.
CCTV image challenges “Staged” raid claims
Shortly after the press conference, an image from CCTV footage inside Ofori-Atta’s residence emerged, allegedly identifying the leader of the group responsible for the raid.

The individual in the image is a well-known businessman who was recently facing trial but was acquitted by the court. He is also a recognized member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The emergence of this footage challenges claims that Ofori-Atta staged the raid to divert attention from the ongoing investigation against him. Instead, it raises further questions about the identity and motivations of those behind the operation.
Meanwhile, the OSP has reiterated its commitment to pursuing its investigations without interference.
