OSP dismisses claims US immigration proceedings undermine criminal case against Ofori-Atta

It identified these as United States immigration proceedings, which concern Mr Ofori-Atta's immigration status; extradition proceedings in the United States, which would determine whether he should be surrendered to Ghana under the applicable treaty; and the criminal prosecution currently before the High Court in Accra."The OSP reiterates that Mr Ofori-Atta remains the subject of criminal proceedings in Ghana, which are before the High Court, Accra.

The Office further maintained that the immigration proceedings in the United States have no bearing on the criminal charges pending before the High Court in Accra.
