Bright Okyere Agyekum, a member of Ofori-Atta's legal team has denied claims that the former Finance stated he was out of Ghana indefinitely for which he was declared a fugitive from justice.

He says the records available to the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) do not support that claim. "Let me state on record that it has never been Ofori-Atta's case that he said with is out of the country indefinitely, he has never posted himself as such he has already been really to avail himself. "The records are available, and the letters from both sides are all over the place.

Ofori-Atta never stated anywhere that he was indefinitely out of the country," he said on the Agenda Show on TV3, Tuesday, February 18.

Prior to his comments, the OSP had announced on that same day that Mr Ofori-Atta had been removed from its wanted list after officially informing them of his definite return to Ghana from the United States where he is receiving medical treatment.
