The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has declared former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta a “wanted fugitive”.
At a press conference in Accra on Wednesday morning (Feb 12, 2025), the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, revealed that all indications point out that, Mr Ofori-Atta has absconded from Ghana in an attempt not to avail himself to investigations over alleged corruption.
“OSP declares Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori Atta a wanted fugitive. Mr Ofori Atta, you have two choices, you can return to the jurisdiction voluntarily or face the consequences,” Mr Agyebeng said at the press conference.
The Special Prosecutor also refuted media reports which claimed that officials from the OSP had raided Ofori-Atta’s residence on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
He alleged that the raid was staged by the former Finance Minister in a ruse to mislead the public and court disaffection towards the work of the OSP.
