Good Evening Ghana show host Paul Adom-Otchere has made damning allegations against National Security, claiming they helped Kevin Taylor enter the country unnoticed despite a bench warrant for his arrest.
Speaking on his show aired Tuesday, July 15, 2025, Adom-Otchere alleged that security operatives, in defiance of a bench warrant issued by the courts, met Taylor at the airport and granted him access to Gate 19 at Kotoka International Airport, a section he claims is reserved exclusively for high-profile officials and diplomats.
“This is what we have been told, but we just hope it’s not true. He arrived as Kevin Taylor and went through gate 19 at the airport, which is ordinarily reserved for high-profile diplomats. He was met by national security in gross violation,” Adom-Otchere alleged.
According to him, his arrival in the country with the help of the state security apparatus constitutes what he describes as a ‘gross violation of a court order’, one that cited Kevin Taylor for contempt over allegedly scandalising the judiciary.
“Ministers and the president may or may not be aware. He has arrived in Ghana in gross violation of a court order. The court order was against contempt of court. He spoke about certain things that the court believed were scandalising.
“…This guy sits in America, scandalises the court in the name of politics, a bench warrant is issued, his party is in power, so the state security apparatus sponsored by the taxpayer goes to pick the guy who has scandalised one of the most important institutions of democracy, the courts, and they bring him in,” he indicated.
Adom-Otchere further alleged that, with the help of National Security, Taylor was accommodated at Prestige Link, the official residence reserved for the Vice President of Ghana, raising questions about the rationale behind such actions by state security operatives.
He condemned the development, raising concerns over how someone like Taylor, who, according to him, has a reputation for verbally attacking prominent figures and institutions in the country, could be allowed to stay at a residence regarded as highly prestigious.
“He came by United Airlines flight U A 996, according to the story, from Washington, D.C. with an entourage. The report is that they sent him to Prestige Link to go and live in the house that is reserved for the vice president of Ghana. This is the same house that John Dramani Mahama lived in as vice president and even as president. When President Mahama was exiting his presidency in 2016, this is the house that he wrote to Nana Akufo-Addo, and Nana Akufo-Addo agreed that President Mahama could have it. Later on, party hawks prevailed on Akufo-Addo by force that President Mahama cannot have it and so, President Mahama had to relocate and find his own place where he has been living until he was re-elected as president,” he continued.
He further expressed his disgust, saying, “This house is where Aliu Mahama lived. It’s a COCOBOD house that is reserved for the vice president of Ghana. This is the house that has been given to ‘Mr Sansa Daly’ and his entourage to stay in the official residence of the vice president of Ghana. This guy sets up a media organisation to basically drop down insults on every important Ghanaian. He supports and assists the political party; there’s no problem. Every political party supports their own, but you cannot support your own by using taxpayers’ resources to bring in somebody like that.”
Adom-Otchere went on to suggest a possible motive behind Taylor’s arrival in the country, revealing that Taylor has filed an application at the apex court, possibly in relation to the bench warrant issued for his arrest.
“He is now worried about the bench warrants, so he has filed an application at the Supreme Court. This is very interesting, and it should be worrisome if it is true that he is staying in the official residence of the Vice President of Ghana. Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang appears to have her own house she’s comfortable with, and doesn’t want to move, so the vice president’s official residence is vacant. This is the place where a fugitive from justice, against whom there’s a bench warrant, is protected by the state apparatus to go and stay.”
He therefore cautioned the government over its actions, calling on officials to be held to account.
