The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has launched an investigation into an alleged corruption scheme involving the unlawful sale of fifty 20-foot containers of palm oil worth GH₵25.8 million.
The shipment, declared as in transit to Burkina Faso, was reportedly diverted into the Ghanaian market without paying the required duties and taxes.
Preliminary findings suggest that some Customs officers, National Security personnel, and clearing agents were involved in orchestrating the diversion, leading to an estimated tax loss of ₵10.5 million.
The probe stems from an intelligence-led operation carried out in November 2025. The OSP has vowed to ensure accountability, recover the lost funds, and uphold the integrity of public financial management.
Officials say the investigation is ongoing, and those implicated could face legal action once the case is fully examined.
