Accra, Feb. 24, GNA – The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is investigating the alleged diversion of 50 containers of palm oil valued at GH¢25.8 million.
The consignment, declared as in transit to Burkina Faso, was allegedly diverted onto the local market without payment of the required duties and taxes.
A statement issued in Accra said the Office had identified the involvement of some Customs officers, National Security operatives and clearing agents in a corrupt scheme that resulted in an estimated loss of GH¢10.5 million in taxes.
It said the investigation followed an intelligence-led operation conducted in November 2025.
The statement said the Office remained committed to protecting the public purse and upholding integrity as investigations continued.
