Asiedu is on remand at the prison as he faces trial at the Accra High Court on charges of murder and robbery. I think the prison authorities punished you because of the fight,” Justice Buadi said. In response, Mr Obour prayed the court to direct the prison officials to return the items that were seized from his client as a result of the punishment. Justice Buadi agreed with counsel and said irrespective of the punishment meted out to prisoners, they should not be deprived of basic necessities such as food and clothing. Asiedu and Bosso have pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery, while Asiedu has pleaded not guilty to murder and robbery.
