Former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta declared wanted fugitive

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has officially declared former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, a suspect in four high-profile corruption investigations, including cases related to the National Cathedral project, Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML), and two undisclosed matters.

Speaking at a press briefing on February 12, 2025, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng stated that Ken Ofori-Atta is now a wanted person and a fugitive from justice.

He insisted that Ofori-Atta must return to Ghana immediately to face questioning, warning that failure to comply would result in measures being taken to compel his return.

Kissi Agyebeng dismissed claims that Ken Ofori-Atta had left the country for medical treatment, insisting that the former minister must cooperate with the ongoing investigations.

He also 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 himself staged the raid in an attempt to mislead the public and discredit the OSP’s investigations.

Ken Ofori-Atta is among several former appointees of the previous government currently under investigation.
