The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has issued a stern warning to former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, stating that he will be re-listed as a wanted person if he fails to appear for questioning on June 2, 2025. Apexnewsgh reports.
This warning comes after Ofori-Atta filed a lawsuit challenging the OSP’s earlier declaration that he was a fugitive from justice.
According to the OSP, Ofori-Atta had formally requested to have his name removed from the wanted list, assuring the OSP that he would make himself available for questioning on a definite date. The OSP, acting in good faith, granted his request and removed his name from the list pending his personal attendance on the agreed date.
However, the OSP has stressed that Ofori-Atta is now “mandatorily required” to appear in person before the OSP on June 2, 2025.
Failure to do so will result in his re-listing as a wanted person and being considered a fugitive from justice. The OSP has also warned that it will take additional measures, including requesting an Interpol Red Notice and initiating extradition proceedings, if Ofori-Atta fails to appear.
The OSP remains committed to enforcing the law and ensuring that Ofori-Atta answers for his role as the prime suspect in five ongoing corruption and corruption-related investigations. Ofori-Atta’s lawsuit seeks to restrain the OSP from making any further public declarations about his status until all legal proceedings have been resolved.
