Fake clearance - Dr. Sledge of Goldridge Ghana Ltd

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) notes, with concern, misleading and sensational media headlines suggesting that a court has cleared Nana Yaw Duodu, alias Dr Sledge of Godridge Ghana Limited, of corruption.

For the avoidance of doubt, the OSP has not filed any criminal charges in court against Dr. Sledge. And no court has pronounced on his guilt or innocence. The investigation into the operations of Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) between 2020-2024 which include the activities of Dr. Sledge is ongoing.

The aspects of the investigation involving Dr. Sledge approximates to USD 94 million. In 2025, the OSP froze assets in the form of vehicles belonging to Dr. Sledge valued at GHC18 million. In January 2026 the High Court refused to confirm the asset freezing.

The OSP took legal steps intended at nullifying the refusal of confirmation. The OSP also took steps to re-secure and freeze the assets. The assets remain frozen and are under the authority, protection, and preservation of the OSP in the public interest, as the Office continues its tracing operations to identify and freeze additional assets suspected to be tainted.

Upon the conclusion of the investigation, any person against whom sufficient evidence is established will be arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction.
