The OSP suspects that Mr. Akore, believed to hold both Ghanaian and American citizenship, may have fled the country and could be hiding in the United States, United Kingdom, South Africa, or Hong Kong.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has issued a wanted notice for Ernest Darko Akore, a former technical advisor at the Ministry of Finance, over his alleged role in corruption-related offences.
The 67-year-old, who previously served as Chef de Cabinet, is being sought in connection with the controversial Revenue Assurance Contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML). The announcement was made public on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
The OSP suspects that Mr. Akore, believed to hold both Ghanaian and American citizenship, may have fled the country and could be hiding in the United States, United Kingdom, South Africa, or Hong Kong.
The High Court’s Criminal Division has thus issued an arrest warrant in the case titled Republic v. Ernest D. Akore.
OSP is appealing to the public for any useful information that could lead to his arrest. Tip-offs can be shared via WhatsApp on 0554494499 or 0554484488.
