Atta Akyea urges patience in Ofori Atta’s case, calls for voluntary return
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, July 25, Mr Atta Akyea said issues surrounding extradition require careful consideration and urged authorities to allow the former minister time to make his own decision about returning to Ghana.
Mr Atta Akyea’s comments come after a United States court questioned aspects of the evidence presented in Ghana’s pursuit of the former minister, while Ghana’s Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) maintains that the former minister remains a fugitive from justice.
The lawyer expressed reservations about the use of extradition procedures to compel the former minister’s return, arguing that a voluntary return would be preferable.
