OSP Clarifies Ken Ofori-Atta’s US Residency Does Not Stop Extradition

#KenOforiAtta #OSP #SpecialProsecutor #GhanaPolitics #AntiCorruption #GhanaNews #CitiNewsroom #ChannelOneNews #Extradition #BreakingNews The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has clarified that former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta’s reported acquisition of lawful permanent residency in the United States does not affect the criminal charges he faces in Ghana or ongoing efforts to extradite him. In a statement posted on X, the OSP said it had taken note of reports suggesting that a US immigration court granted Mr. Ofori-Atta permanent residency after determining that criminal charges against him in Ghana lacked credibility. The anti-corruption agency rejected that interpretation, stressing that it played no role in the immigration proceedings and that the credibility of the charges can only be determined by Ghanaian courts. The OSP further maintained that despite the immigration ruling, Mr. Ofori-Atta remains a Ghanaian citizen and can still be returned to Ghana through the extradition process if a competent US court so orders.
