Former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, has taken legal action against two senior police officers, DSP Bismark Boakye Ansah and Chief Inspector Mensah, following an alleged unauthorised raid on his private residence in Labone.

The lawsuit, filed at the High Court of Justice, outlines several demands as Mr Ofori-Atta seeks redress for what he claims was a violation of his property and privacy rights.

The incident, which occurred on February 11, 2025, involved a team of 12 individuals, including the two defendants, nine military personnel, and plainclothes officers, who allegedly entered Mr Ofori-Atta’s property without a warrant or prior notice.

The former minister, who was out of the country for medical treatment at the time, claims the raid caused significant distress to his domestic staff and damaged his reputation.

Below are the key demands listed in the lawsuit:

  1. Declaration of Trespass and Breach of Privacy: Ofori-Atta is seeking a formal declaration from the court that the defendants’ entry into his property and the subsequent search were unlawful, trespassory, and in breach of his right to privacy.
  2. Damages for Trespass: The plaintiff is demanding compensation for the alleged trespass on his property, arguing that the defendants’ actions were unauthorized and invasive.
  3. Aggravated Damages for Breach of Privacy: Ofori-Atta is seeking aggravated damages for the violation of his privacy, particularly due to the filming of private spaces within his home during the raid. He claims the incident caused him significant emotional distress and public embarrassment.
  4. Perpetual Injunction: The former minister is requesting a perpetual injunction to restrain the defendants, their agents, or assigns from entering his property or engaging in any further conduct that breaches his privacy. This would prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
  5. Costs: Ofori-Atta is also seeking to recover the legal costs associated with pursuing the case against the defendants.

According to the statement, Mr Ofori-Atta was out of the country for medical treatment at the time of the incident.

His domestic staff reported that a team of 12 individuals, including the two defendants, nine military personnel armed with assault rifles, and several plainclothes officers, entered the property without prior notice or consent.

The team conducted an extensive search of the premises, including private spaces such as bedrooms, the kitchen, and closets, without presenting a warrant or explaining the purpose of the search.

The plaintiff alleges that the raid was not only trespassory but also invasive of his privacy rights adding that a member of the raiding team reportedly filmed the entire operation using a cell phone, further exacerbating the breach of privacy.

The suit indicated that the raiding team “did not produce any form of warrant nor indicate to the Plaintiff’s domestic staff the basis for the search but warned the domestic staff to desist from using their mobile phones throughout the entire period of the unauthorized operation.”

Mr Ofori-Atta’s domestic staff were reportedly traumatized by the incident, suffering from severe shock and anxiety.

Mr Ofori-Atta further claims that the raid has caused damage to his reputation both domestically and internationally.

“Plaintiff says further that the raid on the property which gained notoriety both domestically and internationally has not only exposed him to public ridicule, resentment and scorn but also portrayed him as a criminal and this has negatively impacted his hard earned reputation in the international community,” parts of the document read.

He argued that the incident has portrayed him as a criminal, leading to public ridicule and scorn.

Despite efforts to seek clarification from the National Intelligence Bureau, the Chief of the Defence Staff, and the Inspector General of Police, no response has been provided regarding the legality or purpose of the raid, per the statement.

In his lawsuit, Ken Ofori-Atta is seeking several remedies, including a declaration that the defendants’ actions were unlawful, damages for trespass and breach of privacy, and a perpetual injunction to prevent further interference with his property and privacy rights. He is also seeking aggravated damages and costs.

The defendants, DSP Bismark Boakye Ansah and Chief Inspector Mensah, have been commanded to enter an appearance within eight days of being served with the writ.
