The Office of the Special Prosecutor has declared the National Democratic Congress (NDC) activist, Dela Coffie, wanted for “forgery of official document.”
In an official notice on Friday (3 June), the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng said his office has secured “a warrant of arrest” for Coffie also for “corruption and corruption-related offences.”
Below is the notice on the OSP’s social media pages:
Dela reacting to the OSP notice on his facebook page, said “I’m available right here in Ghana and will submit myself to any queries of law enforcement agencies as I have nothing to hide.”
Re: Notice of Wanted Person
My attention has been drawn to a warrant of arrest issued by Special Prosecutor against my person.
Preliminarily, I want to state that I am available right here in Ghana and will submit myself to any queries of law enforcement agencies as I have nothing to hide.
As regards context, my understanding is that the Special Prosecutor is linking me to a petitioner, who has lodged a petition before his office against former Minister Atta Akyea.
However, let me state that the recklessness with which the Special Prosecutor will jump to issue an arrest warrant without any recourse to me as rules of engagement injunct his office to do, will be subjected to appropriate judicial review.
My lawyers have taken the matter up and we will deal with the issues head-on.
Dela Coffie is a law-abiding citizen and ready to fight any concocted allegations geared towards tarnishing my image in the estimation of right-thinking members of society.
