A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) legal team, Lawyer Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe has described as “complete falsehood” the alleged assault of a Court bailiff, Joshua Baming, by the bodyguards of the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Assin North Constituency, James Gyakye Quayson.

The Justices of the apex court, headed by Justice Jones Dotse, were informed that following the failure of both the Clerk to Parliament and the Office of the Speaker's refusal to accept service of the court action, the bailiff, Joshua Banning was sent to serve the writ of summons directly to the MP’s office.

Joshua Baming, was allegedly manhandled by bodyguards of the NDC MP..

That was the narration of the court’s registrar, Matthew Antiaye, to the Supreme Court.
 
But the private legal practitioner strongly disputed the account of events by the court registrar and asserted that the Assin North MP is even without police protection, neither does he have a personal bodyguard.
 
“He said he is okay walking alone. So, for anybody to come out and say that Honourable Quayson assaulted him is a complete lie,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show, ‘Ghana Montie’.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has expressed readiness to probe the alleged assault of the Court bailiff.
