Kpebu says OSP can act on Ofori-Atta case without his return

Professor Ransford Gyampo wonders if anyone checked whether Ofori-Atta really stays at the medical center. Another expert named Joshua Zaato wants security teams to confirm where the former minister lives. Zaato suggests tracking his passport to find his exact...
