    Hmmm his lawyer Frank Divies said it was due to his visas issues, so which is which?

  • Karikakchar 6 days ago

    Whatever the case maybe you know and I know that even if he's extradited back to GH, the AG can't get him convicted and waste everyone's time

  • Benji 6 days ago

    So why doesn't he come back, if the AG can't get him convicted? You fools are always defending criminals as long as he belongs to your party.

  • Is Opuni NDC set free not also a criminal? 6 days ago

    You see your stupidity as if NDC members above the law. Is Opuni , Collins Dauda, etc set free by NDC not also criminals?
    Your foolishness thinks NDC members better than all?

    You say Opuni is also a criminal: meanging both are criminals. It's unfortunate Ayine set him free but that does not mean Ofori should not be held to account.

  • Jerry 5 days ago

    The most deceitful AG in the history of Ghana. This man can’t win a case against himself. So when is Ken returning to Ghana since he has all the info of his arrest.

  • Sound Ghanaian 5 days ago

    The AG and that Amaliba guy do not understand US immigration. From their statements, Ken was clearly detained because of overstaying his visa. If a visa is granted and later revoked, the revocation nullifies the conditions of ...

    You are dumb paaa.Ken’s lawyers said his visa will expire in February.Are we in March?Use your brain for once.What makes sense is that his visa was cancelled because it hasn’t expired.

    Exactly, making us think they are doing something sensible...comedt nkoaa Rawlings murdered soo many peoole yet didnt spend a day in prison for his crimes

  • they say they say 5 days ago

    Yes if he's paying back all the money he stole with interest, why not drop the case. Him going to jail doesn't mean a damn thing for Ghanaians...it's the stolen money we want, nigger

  • Akronfo Addonothing-Mumu Bawuliar- Ofui AtaaAyi the fugithief 6 days ago

    Look at you? So now you know the outcome of the judicial process? Ofori Atta will face justice no matter what. If he is found to be a thief he will go to jail like any other Ghanaian. He should subject himself to the Ghana la ...
