In a press briefing on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng revealed that on January 24, 2025, the OSP officially informed Ken Ofori-Atta that he was a suspect in some criminal activities and requested his presence for questioning on February 10, 2025.
However, his lawyers responded on January 31, stating that he was out of the country indefinitely on medical grounds and would notify the OSP upon his return.
Rejecting this response, the Special Prosecutor insisted that Ofori-Atta's personal attendance was non-negotiable, stating: "I don't need lawyers to answer questions on your behalf when you are being investigated." The OSP, therefore, directed Ofori-Atta to provide a specific date for his return.
On February 10, his lawyers submitted a medical report claiming he was undergoing tests and might require surgery, implying that his return was uncertain.
