The Ministry of Interior has ordered for a probe to be conducted into the alleged assassination attempts on the life of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agybeng.
The directive comes after the Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor, Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko, made the allegation on Newsfile on Joy FM on Saturday, December 6, 2025.
According to the Ministry, its attention was drawn to the allegation and was concerned about it, especially when the one who made the allegation also claimed to have suffered Police brutality.
Preliminary investigations conducted, the Ministry said, the assassination attempts happened before 2025 with no evidence of any record of threats against him at any Police station.
”Initial contacts with Mr. Kissi Agyebeng have revealed that the assassination attempts on him, as claimed, happened before this year.
There is no record or report of such threats against his life at any police station or at any of the state security agencies in the country.”
The Minister of Interior has further directed as follows: ”Since crime does not expire, the Ministry has ordered a full-scale investigation into the claim of assassination attempts.
The Ministry has also ordered an investigation into the claim by Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko that he was handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.”
The statement added that ”The Ministry will update the public on the outcome of these investigations and the actions to be taken.
The Ministry of Interior reiterates its commitment to protecting all lives and properties to ensure that all Ghanaians can conduct all their lawful affairs without any fear for their safety.”
Below is the full statement
The attention of the Ministry of the Interior has been drawn to information that the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, has survived two assassination attempts while discharging his duties to the Republic.
The Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor, Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko, mentioned the assassination attempt on Newsfile, a television station in Accra, on December 6, 2025. He also claimed on the same programme that he had been handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.
Beyond the security implications of these claims, such dangers to personnel of accountability institutions, if true, can undermine the government’s efforts to combat corruption, which have intensified since it took office. The Ministry has therefore taken up the matter with the seriousness it deserves. Here are some preliminary findings on the alleged assassination attempt:
- Initial contacts with Mr. Kissi Agyebeng have revealed that the assassination attempts on him, as claimed, happened before this year.
- There is no record or report of such threats against his life at any police station or at any of the state security agencies in the country.
The Minister of Interior has further directed as follows:
- Since crime does not expire, the Ministry has ordered a full-scale investigation into the claim of assassination attempts.
- The Ministry has also ordered an investigation into the claim by Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko that he was handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.
The Ministry will update the public on the outcome of these investigations and the actions to be taken.
The Ministry of Interior reiterates its commitment to protecting all lives and properties to ensure that all Ghanaians can conduct all their lawful affairs without any fear for their safety.
…End..
