Adom-Otchere, who served as the board chairman under former President Akufo-Addo, is seeking to quash a directive from the OSP ordering him to declare his property and income. According to a social media post by the OSP, lawyers for Adom-Otchere, who is also the host of the Good Evening Ghana show on Metro TV, argue that the directive issued on 4 August 2025 is unlawful. The lawyers, led by Godfred Dame, the immediate past Attorney General, further claim that the directive violates the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959) and its regulations, and constitutes an abuse of power. The Good Evening Ghana host, through his lawyers, is praying the High Court in Accra for a declaration that the OSP’s directive and alleged threats of “legal consequences,” “confiscation,” and “detention” are unlawful and amount to harassment. "He is also asking for an order prohibiting the OSP from detaining him should he refuse to declare his property and income to the office by the stated deadline, among other reliefs," the OSP wrote.
