The Office of the Special Prosecutor has published a list of all assets worth over GHC100 million in connection with the over GHC 2.9 million alleged corruption and money laundering National Petroleum Authority case involving former Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid.
In a post on Thursday, November 6, 2025 via X, the OSP confirmed the seizure and freezing of assets exceeding GH₵100 million and US$100,000, including real estate holdings, fuel stations, and logistics vehicles.
The OSP says additional assets remain under active tracing as part of continuing investigations into the alleged extortion and money laundering scheme.
“These actions are consistent with the OSP’s mandate under Act 959 to preserve suspected proceeds of corruption pending final determination of the case by the court,” the OSP noted.
The OSP had earlier announced that it filed fresh charges against Mustapha Abdul-Hamid and nine others. The amended charges bring the total to 54 counts, up from the previous 25.
Mustapha Abdul-Hamid and the nine others are facing multiple charges, including extortion, abuse of public office, and money laundering, amounting to GHC 291,574,087.19 and US$332,407.47.
According to the Office of the Special Prosecutor, the accused persons allegedly extorted hundreds of millions of cedis and foreign currency from bulk oil transporters and oil marketing companies under the guise of official duties.
In court on Monday, October 20, however, the accused persons were informed of an adjournment due to the unavailability of the judge.
They are expected to reappear on November 13.
