The OSP has declared Ken Ofori-Atta a wanted fugitive
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has released a poster announcing the declaration of former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, as a wanted fugitive.
The poster, bearing the seal of the OSP and the word “WANTED” inscribed in bold text, includes an image of the former minister alongside his full name, Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta.
Other details on the poster include Ken Ofori-Atta’s age, gender, eye color, hair color, complexion, and potential locations namely, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA).
“The suspect is wanted to answer charges related to several cases, including the Strategic Mobilization-GRA Contract, Termination of the ECG-GXC contract, National Cathedral Payments, Ambulance Procurement Contract, and Tax Refund Account Utilisation,” a portion of the notice reads.
The OSP’s notice follows a press conference held by Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng on February 12, 2025, in which he declared Ken Ofori-Atta a wanted person and a fugitive from justice.
During the briefing, Kissi Agyebeng emphasized that Ofori-Atta must return to Ghana immediately to face questioning.
He warned that failure to comply would result in measures to compel his return.
Kissi Agyebeng also dismissed claims that Ofori-Atta had left the country for medical treatment, insisting that the former minister must cooperate with the ongoing investigations.
He further refuted reports suggesting that OSP officials had raided Ken Ofori-Atta’s residence on Tuesday, February 11, 2025. Instead, Kissi Agyebeng alleged that the former minister staged the raid in an attempt to mislead the public and discredit the OSP’s investigations.
Ken Ofori-Atta is one of several former appointees of the previous government currently under investigation.
