The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has removed former Finance Minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta from its list of wanted persons and ceased to consider him a fugitive from justice.
This decision comes after Ofori-Atta, through his lawyers, informed the OSP of his intention to voluntarily return to Ghana on a specified date. The OSP deemed this date reasonable and rescheduled Ofori-Atta’s attendance at the OSP accordingly.
However, the OSP warned that if Ofori-Atta fails to return to Ghana on the specified date or attend the OSP on the rescheduled date, he will be re-listed as a wanted person and considered a fugitive from justice, prompting the OSP to take necessary legal steps to secure his return.
