The family of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has slammed the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng.
The family has accused him of abusing his office and manipulating evidence and violating due process.
The family of Mr Ofori-Atta—who is undergoing cancer treatment wondered why the Special Prosecutor declared a fugitive in a “public lynching” when he (Ofori-Atta) has offered to engage the OSP virtually
They have therefore petitioned INTERPOL to reverse the Red Notice, insisting no formal charges have been filed and a Human Rights Court ruling is expected on June 18.
According to the family, the arrest warrant issued for Ofori-Atta on 11 February 2025, citing “using public office for private profit,” was obtained under “unusual circumstances” without a supporting affidavit.
The family added that the OSP’s declaration of Ofori-Atta as a fugitive from justice was first made through a media briefing—an act they say has no legal backing and is now the subject of ongoing proceedings at the Human Rights Court, with a ruling expected on June 18.
The family further claimed that the son has been undergoing treatment at the Mayo Clinic in the United States for cancer diagnosed earlier this year, following post-COVID complications.
“Rather than respecting the medical records shared and permitting a virtual engagement as permitted under law, the OSP chose to portray a man scheduled for surgery as a fugitive,” the family said.
Meanwhile, has revealed that it filed a new lawsuit on June 3, challenging the legality of the arrest warrant and the conduct of the OSP.
“Had these been disclosed, the INTERPOL filing would have violated Articles 2 and 3 of its constitution, which protect the right to health and prohibit political abuse,” the family said.
