Edward Koranteng, former Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF), was reportedly prevented from boarding an international flight at the Kotoka International Airport on the night of Tuesday, July 29, 2025.
Mr. Koranteng, who is currently under investigation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), was intercepted by immigration officials after it was discovered that he attempted to leave the country without prior clearance from the OSP.
Sources confirm that the former MIIF boss had been placed on a travel watch list—commonly known as a stop list—due to the ongoing investigation.
His attempt to travel without the required express permission triggered an alert at the airport.
The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) promptly informed the OSP, which has since taken custody of Mr. Koranteng for further action.
Details of the investigation against him have not yet been made public, but his placement on enquiry bail suggests that the case involves significant allegations under the OSP’s mandate to investigate corruption and related offenses.
In February 2025, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) declared former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta a wanted person as part of a broader probe into alleged financial misconduct.
He was declared wanted alongside Edward Nana Yaw Koranteng, former CEO of the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF), and Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), over suspected acts of corruption.
