Prophet Kofi Oduro, Head Pastor and Founder of Alabaster International Ministries, has condemned those responsible for deploying military officers to raid the home of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to the Prophet, Ghana is governed by law, and the military has no business raiding Ofori-Atta's home over alleged corruption in a democratic state.
"You think because it is the NDC, we won't talk about it? What is the NDC? We voted you into power to serve us, not for this nonsense!
"We didn't vote for you to be jumping into people's houses, breaking stuff, and removing their properties. Stop this and be serious," he stated.
Speaking to his congregation on Sunday, February 16, 2025, Prophet Oduro expressed his outrage, saying, "Whoever sent those people to raid the finance minister's house...that is the highest level of stupidity. He [Ofori Atta] doesn’t deserve your nonsense.
"You think a man like that, if he leaves the country, will leave evidence behind? We are in a democracy, not a coup d'état regime. Sending soldiers to raid people's homes, what kind of nonsense is that?"
He stated that the President can consult Interpol to extradite Ofori-Atta, if necessary, rather than resorting to such actions.
He further emphasised that due process must be followed in such cases.
"If the man is a criminal, allow the court to declare him as such. We don't go to his house to create fear and panic. He has children, he has a wife, he has a family, he doesn't deserve that," he said.
The man of God continued, "If it happened in 2017, that doesn't mean we should continue the trend. Who sent those soldiers? We want to know.
"If the person has stolen money, the president has the power to authorise Interpol to bring Ken Ofori-Atta back. We have the power to extradite him wherever he is. Let us behave like a civilised society."
A group dressed in military uniforms reportedly stormed the residence of former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
The raid took place at his home in Cantonments while Ofori-Atta was reportedly out of the country.

Massa, I think you talk too much. The fact that most npp supporters doesn't agree to military visiting ofori Atta's house doesn't mean it was wrong. Even your house can be visited if the National Security find you as criminal.
