Raphael Mensah, the individual wanted by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) for his alleged involvement in a corruption-related offence, has returned to Ghana and surrendered to authorities.
Mensah, who was abroad when a wanted notice was issued for him on 8 July 2025, appeared in court today and was granted bail under strict conditions.
The OSP had accused Mensah of aiding and abetting the improper use of a public office for personal gain, contrary to sections 20(2) and 179C(a) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
The notice described him as a key suspect in a case involving the exploitation of public office for private benefit.
Upon his return, Mensah voluntarily presented himself to the OSP and was subsequently arraigned before the court.
The presiding judge granted him bail set at GHS 100,000 with two sureties. Additionally, Mensah was ordered to deposit his passport with the court and report to the OSP every two weeks as part of his bail conditions.
The OSP had earlier urged the public to assist in locating Mensah, providing contact details for tips. His return marks a development in the case, which has drawn public attention amid Ghana’s ongoing anti-corruption efforts.
The OSP has in the past reiterated that all persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The case is expected to proceed as investigations continue.
