On January 7, 2026, reports emerged that the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had detained the infamous New Patriotic Party (NPP) politician.
The Databank Founder and NPP financier served as Finance Minister between 2017 and 2024 during Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s two terms as president.
On February 12, 2025, Ghana’s Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyabeng, declared Ofori-Atta a fugitive from justice and issued an INTERPOL red alert for him.
He was declared wanted for his role in several alleged corrupt deals during his time in office, including the Strategic Mobilisation Ghana (SML) scandal.
Meanwhile, the politician, who is currently in the United States, has set processes in motion to seek political asylum.
According to his lawyers, Ofori-Atta's detainment is due to an immigration issue pertaining to his visa and that they were working expeditiously to resolve matters.
“The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as of yesterday, detained the former Minister for Finance, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, regarding the status of his current stay in the United States. His US legal team is in contact with ICE and expects the matter to be resolved expeditiously," a statement from his lawyers said.
Below is the Instagram post showing the statement from Ken Ofori-Atta's lawyers.
Telvin Sowah’s Ofori-Atta prophecy emerges
After news of Ken Ofori-Atta being detained went viral, a video of a 2025 interview by Prophet Telvin Sowah speaking about the finance minister’s legal status resurfaced online and stirred reactions.
In an interview on Accra FM on November 27, 2025, one week after the Special Prosecutor charged the former finance minister with corruption related offences, the man of God was asked if Ghana could successfully complete Ofori-Atta’s extradition process.
Speaking in a calm and deliberate tone, Prophet Telvin Sowah said he had seen that Ofori-Atta's legal woes would significantly worsen in the coming months and eventually culminate in his return to Ghana to face justice.
Prophet Telvin’s prophecy has gone viral in the wake of news of ICE detaining Ofori-atta, with many social media users praising his gift of foresight and crowning him the best prophet in Ghana.
