Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu is to appear before the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) on Thursday, December 4, 2025, after being granted bail.
Kpebu, who has been charged by the OSP with the offence of obstruction of justice, is set to be investigated at 11 AM.

Providing an update, the OSP’s Director of Strategy, Research and Communication, Samuel Darko, stated on December 4, 2025, that Kpebu’s reappearance is in relation with his obstruction charges, and that the enquiry into his allegations of corruption will be communicated later.
“Mr Kpebu is expected to report this morning at 11am after bail was granted last night for further investigations on the offence of obstruction of justice. A different date will be announced for continuation of enquiry into his allegation of corruption,” he said in a detailed statement on Facebook.
Darko further defended the decision to arrest Kpebu, insisting that the action was lawful, justified, and prompted by what the OSP describes as the lawyer’s “unruly and obstructive conduct” toward security officers stationed at the institution’s premises.
The office dismissed claims that the arrest was an act of retaliation or part of an ongoing inquiry into allegations previously made by Kpebu against the Special Prosecutor.
According to the OSP, the confrontation that led to the arrest was not an isolated incident.
Darko also stated that the lawyer had on multiple occasions behaved improperly toward OSP security personnel, only to later “publicly present a completely different version of events.”
He cited past instances, including what he called Kpebu’s false claim about 16 petitions seeking the removal of the Special Prosecutor, an allegation the lawyer later retracted during an interview with broadcaster KSM.

“It became clear that unless his interactions were recorded, he would misrepresent the facts,” Darko said.
Darko accused the lawyer of refusing to cooperate with investigators and introducing “one obstacle after another” despite knowing that there is currently no OSP Board to receive the supposed evidence he claims to be compiling.
