Mr. Dela Coffie a National Democratic Congress (NDC) communicator has emerged barely 24 hours after the Special Prosecutor declared him wanted.
The Special Prosecutor is on the heels of the NDC activist over corruption-related and forgery offences.
A notice issued on Friday, June 3 and signed by Kissi Agyebeng said the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has already caused the issuance of a warrant of arrest for the suspect.
But Mr. Coffie in a quick rebuttal insists he has been in the country and that looking for him should not be difficult for the Special Prosecutor.
“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” the Dela Coffie statement noted.

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.
