If Ofori-Atta doesn’t make it by the June 2 deadline, OSP will declare him wanted once more.

Former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has received a severe warning from the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), which states that if he does not show up for interrogation on June 2, 2025, he will be placed on a wanted person’s list once more.
This comes after Mr. Ofori-Atta and the OSP had reached an agreement in which he promised authorities that he would assist with the continuing corruption investigations.

After he formally requested it, the OSP first took his name off its wanted list in good faith.

The prosecuting authority updated its position in a statement in response to a complaint brought by Yaw Ofori-Atta contesting the OSP’s previous designation of Ken Ofori-Atta as a fugitive from justice.

“With the guarantee that he would make himself available for questioning on a specific date, Mr. Ofori-Atta formally requested that the OSP remove his name from the OSP’s list of wanted persons,” the statement stated.
The OSP also made it clear that his removal from the list was contingent on his presence in person at the appointed time.

In such a scenario, the OSP threatened to issue an Interpol Red Notice and start extradition procedures in any state where he could be.

In the meantime, the former Finance Minister has filed a lawsuit against the OSP, requesting an injunction to stop the office from listing him as a wanted individual once more.

He contends that the Special Prosecutor’s activities are unjustified and without foundation.

Any attempt to designate him as a fugitive would be unfair and detrimental to his reputation, according to his attorneys, who claim that he has cooperated with investigators through their attorneys.
The legal dispute is based on claims of financial wrongdoing and corruption, for which Mr. Ofori-Atta is the main suspect in five current investigations.
The OSP has maintained its commitment to upholding the rule of law and guaranteeing that justice is done.

The agency reaffirmed its commitment to upholding accountability, particularly when it comes to cases involving financial misconduct.

But according to Mr. Ofori-Atta, the OSP’s activities have seriously harmed his reputation and personal life.

By filing the action, he hopes to prevent the Special Prosecutor from announcing his status in public until all court cases have been concluded.
