The report suggests that Evatex Logistics Limited, a company affiliated with SML, has been served with a termination letter on 28th July, 2025.
According to reports, no payments have also been made to date to Evatex Logistics.
Evatex Logistics Ltd, a firm affiliated with Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML), was contracted by GACL to provide revenue assurance services in regard to cargo at Kotoka International Airport.
“The terms of reference indicated that, upon successful completion of the assignment, GACL would pay Evatex Logistics Ltd out of the recouped amount—a fee equivalent to 15%, which shall be charged on the total of the possible royalties unearthed, concealment uncovered, and recouped by GACL under the audit assignment”.

Management would wish to bring to your notice (as at the date of this letter), its intention to terminate the Agreement without cause oursuant to the termination clause (a) of the agreement which states as followe: A party may terminate this Agreement before its expiry, without cause, by providing the other party a one month’s prior written notice of ts decision to terminate….”
The GACL MD added, “Hence, effective 27th of August 2025, the agreement executed on the 4th of December 2024 shall cease to have effect and shall be considered as terminated by GACL. You are therefore required to use this notice period to demobilise and leave the premises of Kotoka International Airport on or before the 27th of August 2025.
We thank you for your intention to carry out the revenue assurance audit and wish you well in your future endeavours”.
In addition, the Office of the Special Prosecutor is all over the GACL contract with Evatex Logistics, investigating the circumstances under which the contract was awarded to the firm.
Paul Adom-Otchere, the former Board Chairman of the GACL and host of Good Evening Ghana on Metro TV, has since been detained to assist in the investigation into the contract.
Sammy Darko Appiah, the Director of Strategy, Research and Communication at the Office of the Special Prosecutor, has revealed that Paul Adom-Otchere is a key suspect in the OSP’s ongoing investigation.
According to Sammy Darko, the OSP has come across evidence that directly points to certain actions of Adom-Otchere as a board chairman that fall in line with the offences.
Speaking in an interview on TV3 New Day, Friday, August 1, 2025, Sammy Darko detailed, “The OSP has set the bail terms, Mr. Adom Otchere has not been able to meet the bail terms. Mr. Adom Otchere was invited to come to the OSP not as person of interest, he was invited to come as a suspect.
“He put out a letter, and those who have read the letter would see that the letter was directing him to come as a suspect because he is a key suspect in the investigation,” he stated.
“As far as the OSP is concerned, we have come across evidence that directly points to certain actions of Mr. Adom-Otchere as a board chairman that fall in line with the offences that we are allowed to investigate, and that is what we are investigating,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has announced that they have accepted the revised bail conditions proposed by Paul Adom Otchere’s legal team.
According to the OSP statement on X, the revised bail conditions meet the objectives of the original bail conditions.
The OSP added that Jospong Group of Companies is acting as surety for Paul Adom-Otchere.
In a post on X, the OSP wrote, “The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has accepted revised bail conditions proposed by legal counsel for Mr. Paul Adom-Otchere, former Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL).
The revised terms, which meet the objectives of the original bail conditions, have been secured by the Jospong Group of Companies, acting as surety.
The matter remains under active investigation by the OSP”.
