Ofori-Atta Risks Being Declared Wanted If He Fails To Meet June 2 Deadline – OSP
Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has threatened to relist him as a wanted individual.

If former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta does not show up for interrogation on June 2, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has threatened to relist him as a wanted individual.
The OSP stated that it took Mr. Yaw Ofori-Atta’s name off its wanted list in good faith after he requested it in a statement admitting a lawsuit he filed contesting the agency’s previous determination that he was a fugitive from justice.
Mr. Ofori-Atta formally requested the OSP to remove his name from the OSP’s list of wanted persons with the assurance to the OSP that he would make himself available for questioning on a definite date.
“The OSP, in good faith and on the basis of Mr. Ofori-Atta’s assurance, granted his request and removed his name from the OSP’s list of wanted persons pending his personal attendance at the OSP on the definite date.”
The statement further stressed that Ofori-Atta is “mandatorily required to appear in person before the OSP on 2 June 2025.” It warned that failure to do so would result in his re-listing as a wanted person and being considered a fugitive from justice.
“If Mr. Ofori-Atta fails to attend the OSP on the scheduled date, he shall be re-entered on the OSP’s list of wanted persons and the OSP shall consider him a fugitive from justice; whereupon the OSP will cause the issuance of an Interpol Red Notice in his regard and also cause the initiation of extradition proceedings in any jurisdiction in which he may be found.”
The OSP reiterated its commitment to enforcing the law and ensuring accountability, stating:
“The OSP remains unwavering in its commitment to enforcing the law and ensuring that Mr. Ofori-Atta answers for his role as the prime suspect in five ongoing corruption and corruption-related investigations.”
