President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has filed a petition with the Chief Justice seeking the removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng.
This is according to a report by Joy News in Accra and confirmed by The Herald.
Reports revealed that the petition was filed by the first Superintendent of Police, Martin Amidu, who accused Agyebeng of procurement irregularities and abuse of power.
Ajiben was appointed as Amidu’s successor in 2021.
