Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has spoken out for the first time since his release from the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), describing his December 3 arrest as unjustified and part of what he believes is a reckless agenda being pursued by the OSP.
Kpebu had visited the OSP to support investigations into corruption allegations he previously leveled against Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng. However, a confrontation at the entrance of the OSP headquarters led to his detention before investigators even began questioning him.
In an interview with TV3, monitored by Citi News, Kpebu described the experience as shocking and difficult to comprehend.
“I didn’t do anything that merits an arrest; it felt like a dream, like a fairytale—but my spirits remained high,” he said.
He further criticized the OSP, accusing Kissi Agyebeng’s leadership of steering the institution in a dangerous and self-destructive direction. “This is a suicide mission that Kissi Agyebeng’s OSP has embarked on. He may pretend he has no involvement, but he is the head,” Kpebu asserted.
The incident has intensified the ongoing friction between Kpebu and the OSP. The lawyer has repeatedly accused the Special Prosecutor of procedural lapses, including assigning cases to junior officers who report directly to him. He maintains that only an independent committee can objectively investigate the allegations he has raised.
Kpebu also questioned the OSP’s approach to other major cases, including its investigation of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, claiming the office failed to follow critical procedural requirements.
