Case Against Ofosu Ampofo Adjourned Again!

The court case involving the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo and Kweku Boahen, a deputy Communication officer of the party has been adjourned by the Commercial Division of the Accra High Court. 

The case presided over by Justice Samuel Asiedu argues the NDC chairman’s application at the Court of Appeal for a stay of proceedings at the High Court is still pending.

In court on Monday, the Director of Public Prosecution, Mrs Yvonne Atakorah Obuobisah told the court that the application is supposed to have been moved on November 23.

She added that, the case could not be heard because counsel for the NDC chairman was yet to be served with their response.

On his part counsel for the NDC chairman Tony Lithur told the court that they have been served with a hearing notice to appear at the Court of Appeal on November 6.

Justice Asiedu subsequently adjourned the case to November 11 by which time the application at the court of appeal would have been determined.

Court dismisses Ofosu Ampofo’s plea to halt case against him

In July 2019, an Accra High Court dismissed an application to halt the criminal trial of Samuel Ofosu Ampofo.

Mr. Ofosu Ampofo had filed an application to stay proceedings before the court, following an appeal of the judge’s decision to dismiss two out of the three charges against him.

But the judge, Justice Samuel Asiedu in his decision stated that the concerns raised by the lawyers of Mr. Ofosu Ampofo lacked merit and will continue hearing the case, while the appeal is heard.
