Lawyer Martin Kpebu, a member of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) preparatory committee established by President John Dramani Mahama, has provided an update on the team's progress.

According to the latest update, Nana Attobrah Quaicoe, the head of the National Investigation Bureau (NIB), approached the committee voluntarily regarding land he allegedly obtained unlawfully.

During an interview on TV3 on Saturday, January 11, 2024, Kpebu revealed that Attobrah Quaicoe decided to return the land to the state in response to concerns raised by the head of the ORAL preparatory committee, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.

Kpebu explained that this action by the NIB boss prevented him from being investigated and potentially prosecuted by the ORAL committee.

“Our role is preparatory, so we are not directly involved in the actual recovery of assets; that will be addressed in the next phase. However, there are individuals who have expressed willingness to return assets,” Kpebu stated.

“The head of the National Investigation Bureau, formerly BNI, reached out to Okudzeto due to the advocacy surrounding the land issue and stated that he would return the land and withdraw his claim. He requested to be excluded from further involvement,” he added.

Kpebu further mentioned, “Yesterday, we visited the site where the land is located. The NIB boss, Attobrah confirmed his decision to relinquish the land. I am somewhat acquainted with Attobrah on a personal level."
