American citizenship does not shield Ofori-Atta from extradition to Ghana — AG
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has dismissed suggestions that former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta's United States citizenship could prevent his extradition to Ghana if required to face trial.
The Attorney General's comments suggest that despite the immigration ruling, the Ghanaian government maintains that Mr Ofori-Atta remains liable to extradition should legal processes require his return to face trial in Ghana.
According to the ruling, Judge David Gardey found that the former Finance Minister's personal circumstances outweighed concerns arising from criminal allegations filed against him in Ghana.
