The Office of the Special Prosecutor has declared wanted an activist of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dela Coffie, for an alleged “forgery of official document.”
In an official notice, the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng said his office has secured “a warrant of arrest” for Mr Coffie also for “corruption and corruption-related offenses.”
In a swift response however, Mr. Dela Coffie said he is ready to avail himself because he has no place to hide.
“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”
“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” he stated in a context to his declaration.
The accused further described how the Special Prosecutor issued the warrant of arrest against him as “recklessness”, and noted that his lawyers have taken the matter up and we will deal with the issues head-on.
“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” Dela Coffie added.
