The judge however admitted three other statements which were also under contention explaining that those were taken in the presence of independent witness. He however during trial objected to the tendering of the statements claiming that they were taken from him under duress. The former Director General of the NCA, William Tevie and four others including Mr. Baffoe Bonie, have been arraigned for alleged fraud and for causing financial loss to the state over the alleged fraudulent $6 million contract signed between the NCA and Infraloks Development Limited (IDL).
