This was after the prosecutor, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sylvester Asare, had withdrawn the charge sheet containing treason felony charges against accused. The prosecutor had amended the charge sheet five times before yesterday’s proceedings, causing counsel for accused to raise concerns about the abuse of their client’s rights. Mr Donkor asked the court to assert the fundamental rights of accused and make consequential orders barring the police not to arrest accused. Mr Asamani reminded the court of role of dispensing justice and should prevent the abuse of the rights of accused.
