Former NPA Boss, Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, has denied recent claims by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) that assets worth over GHS 100 million linked to him have been seized in relation to the ongoing NPA investigation.
In a press statement released by his legal team, HAY & Partners, Dr. Abdul-Hamid’s counsel emphatically stated that no assets or businesses belonging to him, directly or indirectly, have been identified, traced, or seized by the OSP. The statement describes the OSP’s Facebook post as “false, misleading, and injurious”, noting that the OSP’s own amended charge sheet, filed on October 17, 2025, contains five counts of alleged offences but makes no reference to any assets or businesses associated with Dr. Abdul-Hamid.
This follows a post on X by The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) that they’ve seized and frozen assets valued at more than GH¢100 million and over US$100,000 belonging to the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, who is currently facing prosecution for serious corruption and financial crimes.
The legal team further criticised the OSP for making public assertions inconsistent with its court filings, reminding the office of its constitutional and ethical obligations to act with fairness, integrity, and respect for the rights of individuals before the court.
“Engaging in public commentary that distorts facts before the court is inconsistent with those obligations and unbecoming of the prosecutorial office,” the statement said.
Dr. Abdul-Hamid has reportedly cooperated fully with the OSP, attending all court proceedings and complying with the investigative process. His lawyers expressed regret that the OSP has, instead of focusing on prosecutorial diligence, chosen to engage in what they described as “public theatrics and false reportage.”
The statement also reminded the public that Dr. Abdul-Hamid remains innocent until proven guilty under the 1992 Constitution, warning that attempts to sway public opinion through misinformation undermine the rule of law and judicial integrity.
