Nana Attobrah Quaicoe, the Director-General of the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), has categorically denied allegations that he contacted the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee to return a parcel of land he allegedly acquired illegally.

The allegations were made by Martin Kpebu, a member of the ORAL Committee, who claimed that Mr. Quaicoe had agreed to relinquish a state-owned parcel of land in exchange for the committee halting further actions against him.

In a statement issued by KUDZE, KUDZE@LAW on behalf of Mr. Quaicoe, the claims were described as “contrived, false, and without any basis.” The statement emphasized that Mr. Quaicoe had not engaged with any member of the ORAL Committee, including Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, on matters concerning state land.

It further clarified that Mr. Quaicoe does not own or hold any illegally acquired government land, contrary to the assertions made by Martin Kpebu during his appearance on the television program Keypoints, aired by TV3.

The statement reiterated Mr. Quaicoe’s commitment to transparency and adherence to legal processes in his dealings, dismissing the accusations as baseless attempts to tarnish his reputation.

“We urge the public to disregard these false statements calculated to injure our client’s reputation,” the statement read. It also called on Martin Kpebu to retract his “utterly false and defamatory statements,” warning that legal action may be taken to protect Quaicoe’s name and rights if the retraction is not made.

The legal team, led by Saviour Quarcoo Kudze, expressed their commitment to defending their client’s integrity and ensuring that the truth prevails in this matter.

ORAL was established by President John Dramani Mahama on December 18, 2024, with the aim of recovering state assets and properties unlawfully acquired by individuals, particularly during previous administrations.
