Sexy Dondon Weeps In Court

The retrial of Daniel Asiedu, also known as Sexy Dondon, took an emotional turn on Wednesday,12 February, 2025 when the accused broke down in tears, expressing frustration over the prolonged legal proceedings, according to Graphic online.

Asiedu, the prime suspect in the alleged murder of Abuakwa North Member of Parliament (MP) J.B. Danquah Adu, accused the Ghanaian judicial system of being unfair. Asiedu, who happens to be a trader, insisted on his innocence. The court had to calm him down before proceedings could begin.

Appearing before the Criminal Court Five division of the High Court, the presiding Judge, Justice Kizita Naa Koowa Quarshie, addressed defence counsel Sophia Armstrong, who was holding brief, reminding her that her senior had indicated an intention to file a bail application for the accused.

However, the court noted that no such application had been received yet. In response, the defence confirmed that they were still in the process of filing the request.

Meanwhile, Ms. Yvonne Yaache-Adomako, representing Principal State Attorney SefakorBatse, stated that the prosecution was ready to commence trial, subject to the availability of jurors for empanelment.

The court subsequently adjourned the case to February 25, 2025.

Asiedu’s retrial follows a ruling by the High Court on December 4, 2024, after a seven-member jury delivered a split 4-3 verdict on the charges of robbery and murder, necessitating a fresh trial.

The late J.B. DanquahAdu was brutally murdered at his Shiashie residence, near East Legon in Accra, on February 9, 2016, a case that has since sparked significant public interest and legal debate.
