OSP should resign, he is a disgrace to his office - Prof. Ansah Asare

The former law school director condemned the decision to label Ofori-Atta a fugitive, describing it as legally unfounded and damaging to the justice system’s credibility.

Ansa-Asare expressed concern over what he described as the misuse of legal procedures in pursuing Ofori-Atta. He emphasized that the principle of presumption of innocence was being ignored.

“By himself, the Special Prosecutor would not do what he has done—he is spineless. He knows that until a person’s guilt is proven, he is innocent. An innocent person cannot be declared a wanted citizen running away from justice and be hounded out and brought back to Ghana in handcuffs,” Ansa-Asare argued.

The former law school director further criticized the move as undermining the integrity of Ghana’s justice system and called for a shift away from politically influenced prosecutions. He urged the Special Prosecutor to take responsibility for the perceived lack of independence in his office and step down.
