Former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Paul Adom-Otchere, has downplayed the interrogation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor after his release from detention.

Recounting what transpired during the interrogation in connection with the ongoing investigation into the controversial GACL contract, Adom-Otchere sought to suggest that the OSP wanted to lure one Albert during his interrogation to implicate him (Paul Adom-Otchere) in the deal.

“In fact, they told me one Albert was being coerced into stating facts that would implicate me in the controversial contract. According to my lawyers, they told him (Albert) to say that I armtwisted his hand to leave the contract to another person. But Albert insisted that he does not know me and so, if I (Adom-Otchere) enters the meeting, I would not be able to point him out. They didn’t believe him,” Adom-Otchere stated in the 10-mins video he shared on his Facebook page on August 2, 2025.

He said Albert was later asked to join him in his car at the time he was being transferred from the OSP’s office to the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB).

Narrating further, Adom-Otchere said he asked who Albert was and he gave an interesting response.

According to Paul Adom-Otchere, Albert, in that instance, told the security men that reactions at the scene points to the fact that he and Adom-Otchere had never met before.

“At this point I asked him who he is. Then he said he was Albert. So, I said aah so you are the Albert. Then he said, they are saying that I should say you armed twisted me to hand a contract to another person. Eiii criminal justice system paa nie,” Adom-Otchere recounted.

Adom-Otchere was invited by the OSP in connection with a revenue assurance contract between GACL and a private firm, allegedly awarded without full board approval.

He was eventually detained after failing to meet bail requirements, citing his lack of ownership of landed property in Ghana.

However, he was later released after he was able to meet the varied bail condition on August 1, 2025.
