Former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has taken fresh legal action against the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), challenging its decision to label him a “wanted person” and a “fugitive from justice.”
Ofori-Atta, through his legal team, argues that the OSP violated due process by publicly sharing his details on social media, despite previously receiving assurances from the agency that his information would not be made public.
In his legal filings, Ofori-Atta is demanding the immediate removal of his name from the wanted list and an injunction that would prevent the OSP from reinstating his name without prior judicial approval.
Additionally, he seeks an injunction to stop any further public statements that could portray him as a fugitive, as well as the immediate removal of any such references.
Ofori-Atta’s legal team contends that these actions are not only damaging to his reputation but also infringe upon his constitutional rights under Ghana’s 1992 Constitution.
The case is set to be heard in April, signaling a significant legal confrontation in the ongoing dispute between Ofori-Atta and the OSP as he seeks to protect his name and clear his standing.
