“The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) will hold a press conference on Thursday, October 30, 2025, to provide updates on the completion of investigations into Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) and the extradition packet on former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta“, the post read.
Ken Ofori-Atta was identified by the OSP in January 2025 as a suspect in several corruption-related cases involving irregularities in contracts with SML, expenditures linked to the National Cathedral project and issues surrounding health and tax refund operations.
He was declared a fugitive the following month after failing to respond to multiple OSP summonses.
Although his lawyers requested the removal of his name from the wanted list with assurances of his return, he failed to appear before the OSP again in June 2025.
This led to the reinstatement of his fugitive status and the activation of an Interpol Red Notice to facilitate his extradition.
