Return Voluntarily Or Be Forced Back Into The Country – OSP Declares Ofori Atta Wanted

In a significant development, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has officially declared former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta a fugitive and added him to its wanted list. The announcement was made by Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng during a press conference held on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.

Agyebeng revealed that Ofori-Atta has repeatedly failed to comply with summons from the OSP to appear for questioning in connection with ongoing investigations where he is named as a suspect. “As a result, the OSP has no choice but to declare Ken Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta a wanted individual. He is now considered a fugitive from the law,” Agyebeng stated. The OSP further underscored its commitment to employing all necessary legal avenues to ensure the former minister’s appearance to address the allegations under investigation.

The former minister’s legal representatives have reportedly informed the OSP that Ofori-Atta is currently abroad indefinitely for medical reasons. However, the Special Prosecutor’s Office has expressed skepticism regarding this explanation and remains resolute in its pursuit to bring him back to Ghana to face questioning.

This declaration marks a significant escalation in the legal troubles confronting Ofori-Atta, as the OSP intensifies its efforts to hold him accountable for his alleged involvement in the matters under investigation. The development has drawn widespread attention, raising questions about the implications for governance and accountability in the country.

The OSP’s move underscores its determination to enforce accountability, particularly in high-profile cases, as it seeks to uphold the rule of law and ensure that individuals under investigation cooperate fully with its inquiries. The situation remains fluid as the public awaits further updates on the unfolding legal saga.
