Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has spoken publicly for the first time since being released from the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), describing his December 3, 2025, arrest as unwarranted and part of what he calls a reckless agenda by the investigative body.
Kpebu had visited the OSP to assist with inquiries into corruption allegations he previously levelled against Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng.
However, a confrontation with officers at the entrance to the OSP headquarters resulted in his detention before investigators began questioning him.
In an interview with TV3, Kpebu said the experience felt incomprehensible.
“I didn’t do anything that deserves an arrest, so somehow it was like a dream, like a fairytale, but my spirits were still up,” he said.
He went on to criticise the OSP under Kissi Agyebeng, arguing that the institution is taking a damaging and politically dangerous direction.
“What they have actually done is a suicide mission that Kissi Agyebeng’s OSP has embarked on. He can pretend he has nothing to do with it, but he is the head,” Kpebu stated.
The incident has intensified the ongoing friction between Kpebu and the OSP.
He has previously accused the Special Prosecutor of procedural irregularities, including assigning sensitive investigations to junior officers who report directly to him.
According to Kpebu, only an independently constituted committee can fairly assess the allegations he has made.
Kpebu also challenged the OSP’s handling of other high-profile cases, such as the probe involving former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, asserting that key procedural requirements were not properly followed.
