‘Your charges are not properly laid’
The Kaneshie District Court, presided over by Her Honour Mrs Ama Adomah-Kwakye, has dismissed a case brought before it by a police prosecution team involving alleged National Security Operatives who went mining in the Atewa Forest.
According to the Magistrate, the charges brought before her by the prosecution were not properly made, hence, she would not entertain it.
Thus, each of the accused persons, numbering 32, has been charged with possession of firearms without lawful authority, which is contrary to Section 192 of the Criminal Offence Act 1960 (Act 29).
Section192 (1) states that: “Notwithstanding the provisions of any other enactment, possession of any person who has in his possession, custody or control without lawful excuse, the proof whereof shall be on him, any explosive, firearm or ammunition shall be guilty of first degree felony.”
“I have been married for ten years. I have performed a traditional marriage,” he said.
“I wasn t popular when I married my wife. I had my first hit [song] after marrying my wife. So, my wife brought me luck.” He said he is planning a huge white wedding in April this year and would book the Kumasi Cultural Centre to be able to accommodate massive attendance. Speaking about the root cause of the frequent collapse of marriages among the gospel fraternity in Ghana, Brother Sammy attributed it to lack of sexual satisfaction. He said gospel musicians are too spiritual.
“Ghana gospel artistes’ marriages are collapsing because they are too spiritual. When a Christian man is in the mood and wakes up his wife, that is when the woman will spit tongues.”
