The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has launched an investigation into the alleged diversion of fifty twenty-foot containers of palm oil, valued at GH₵25.8 million, which were unlawfully redirected from transit to the local market.
According to a statement released by the OSP, the consignment, initially declared in transit to Burkina Faso, entered the domestic market without the payment of applicable duties and taxes. The scheme is reported to have caused an estimated loss of GH₵10.5 million in tax revenue.
The Office has identified the involvement of some Customs officers, National Security operatives, and clearing agents in orchestrating the corrupt diversion. Investigations were initiated following an intelligence-led operation conducted in November 2025.
“As the process continues, the Office remains committed to protecting the public purse and upholding integrity,” the statement said.
The OSP has assured the public of its dedication to prosecuting corruption and recovering lost public funds.
