Claim: An X (formerly Twitter) user claims that Martin Amidu accused John Mahama of being the father of corruption in his new revelation about the Airbus scandal.
Verdict: False
Verification: In 2020, the Office of the Special Prosecutor, headed by Martin Amidu, released a report on investigations into the Airbus Scandal. It was about the impropriety of Ghana’s acquisition of three military aircraft from Airbus during the Mills-Mahama Administration. In his report, Amidu referred to John Mahama as ‘Government Official One.’
Subsequently, Amidu resigned from Office in the same year. He has, therefore, not conducted any new investigations into the matter. Mr Mahama was later cleared of any corruption-related activity this year by the current Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng.
Ghana Fact-Check Coalition finds no evidence to support the claim.
