The Human Rights Court has dismissed an application filed by former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to reports, Ken Ofori-Atta sought to stop the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) from redeclaring him as wanted.
In a post by the Office of the Special Prosecutor page on X stated, “The Human Rights Court has dismissed an application by former Finance Minister Kenneth Ofori-Atta, who sought to prevent the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) from declaring him wanted ahead of his scheduled appearance on 2 June 2025.
Mr Ofori-Atta, who is under multiple investigations by the OSP and other state agencies relating to his tenure in office, had asked the court to restrain the OSP from issuing a “wanted” notice and from circulating his image online.
He is currently the subject of an active Interpol Red Notice, and extradition proceedings have begun with the relevant authorities to secure his return to Ghana.
The dismissed application forms part of a series of civil suits he has filed against the OSP and the Republic, either to halt its operations or challenge the issuance of arrest warrants in the ongoing probes”, the statement added.
