The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has detained Paul Adom-Otchere, the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), after he failed to meet the bail conditions in an ongoing investigation into a controversial revenue assurance contract.
Adom-Otchere, along with two others, has been formally charged by the OSP in connection with alleged procurement breaches linked to a contract between GACL and a private company owned by the proprietor of Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML).
The contract is believed to have been sole-sourced without proper approval from the GACL Board.
According to the OSP, Mr Adom-Otchere was required to present two landed properties registered in his name as part of his bail conditions. However, he reportedly informed investigators that he does not own any landed property in Ghana.
As a result, he remains in custody until he is able to meet the terms of his bail.
The two other individuals facing charges are Otchere Kwame Baffour Awuah, Group Executive for Commercial Services at GACL, and dAlbert Adjetey Adjei-Laryea, Chief Executive Officer of Devnest Systems.
Adom-Otchere was first invited for questioning on Thursday, July 31, after being named as a suspect in an official letter dated July 25, 2025.
