No Rift Between OSP and Attorney General Over Ofori-Atta Extradition — Kissi Agyebeng Clarifies
The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has dismissed claims of friction between the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and the Office of the Attorney General (AG), led by Dr Dominic Ayine, over the ongoing extradition process of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Thursday, October 30, Mr Agyebeng described reports of tension between the two institutions as baseless and misleading, stressing that both offices are collaborating closely on the high-profile case.
“It’s unfortunate that there’s been talk about dockets and refusals to share them. That is beside the point — that is not the issue at all,” he stated. “The real issue is ensuring that we get it right the first time. You don’t keep going back and forth when dealing with such sensitive matters.”

The Special Prosecutor reaffirmed his commitment to working hand-in-hand with the Attorney General’s office to ensure a seamless and lawful extradition process, dismissing speculation of institutional rivalry or jurisdictional conflict.
Touching on concerns about Ken Ofori-Atta’s alleged U.S. citizenship, Mr Agyebeng made it clear that dual nationality would not impede the extradition proceedings.
“US citizenship status doesn’t prevent extradition,” he emphasised. “We will not give up; we will still move on with the processes and ensure that Ghanaians become less restive and appreciate the collaborative work we’re doing with the Attorney General.”
