Court Demands Medical Report On Afoko

The Accra High Court hearing the case involving, Gregory Afoko, who is alleged to have murdered Mr Adams Mahama, the former New Patriotic Party Chairman of the Upper East Region, on Tuesday ordered for a medical report of Mr Afoko.

The court ordered the medical director of the Prisons Service to furnish the court with the medical report of the accused person.

The order was made after counsel for the accused person told the court that his client was on admission at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

The court said since it was a court of record it would be appropriate if the court is furnished with the medical report of the accused person to confirm to the court about his condition.

The case was later adjourned to November 16.
At the last sitting the case was adjourned at the instance of the absence of a member of the jury and the interpreter.

When the case was called today all the jurors were present as well as the interpreter.

Afoko, a farmer, is being held on the charges of conspiracy to commit crime to wit murder and murder of the late Mahama.

It is alleged that he carried out the act with one Alandgi Asake who is on the run.

A third accomplice, Musa Issa, was granted bail after the Attorney-General advised that there was not enough evidence to charge him.
