DEC 21, 2020
There was drama at an Accra Circuit Court when 32 alleged secessionists discharged by the court were re-arrested and escorted to the Police headquarters.
When the case was called on Monday, the Prosecution led by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sylvester Asare, informed the Court that they were withdrawing the charges leveled against the accused.
According to ASP Asare, the Court should therefore, discharge the accused.
“Our prayer this morning is that we humbly withdraw the charge sheet filed on November 23, this year and discharge the accused persons accordingly,” ASP Asare said.
But ASP Asare s prayers attracted various submissions from defence counsel who described the move by the prosecution asa breach of the fundamental human rights of the suspects and an abuse of the court process by the State.
