The Ministry of the Interior has ordered a full-scale investigation following claims that the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, survived two assassination attempts while carrying out his duties.
The allegations were made by Samuel Appiah Darko, Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor, during an interview with JoyFM on December 6, 2025.
Mr. Darko also claimed that he had been handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.
The Ministry in a statement noted that it is treating the matter “with the seriousness it deserves,” noting that any threats against personnel of accountability institutions could undermine ongoing anti-corruption efforts.
Preliminary findings indicate that the alleged assassination attempts occurred prior to this year and that there is no record of such threats reported to the police or state security agencies.
A statement from the Ministry confirmed, “Since crime does not expire, the Ministry has ordered a full-scale investigation into the claim of assassination attempts. The Ministry has also ordered an investigation into the claim that Mr. Darko was handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.”
The Ministry pledged to update the public on the outcome of the investigations and the actions to be taken, reiterating its commitment “to protecting all lives and properties to ensure that all Ghanaians can conduct all their lawful affairs without any fear for their safety.”
