Saga of the 77parcels of cocaine
The Greater Accra Regional Tribunal discharged four persons, including the owner of the vessel which was allegedly used to cart 76 parcels of cocaine into the country.
Joseph Kojo Dawson, the owner of the MV Benjamin, Freeman Sosi, a boat owner, Evans Chawetey Tsekobi, a mechanic, and Alhaji Moro Mohammed were discharged by the tribunal after a Chief State Attorney, Ms Gertrude Aikins, had entered a nolle prosegui, which means the Attorney General has the powers to discontinue a case against an accused person.
The four persons had been charged with various counts of conspiracy, use of property to commit narcotic offence and abetment of crime.
According to counsel, Dawson was arrested on April 27, 2006, later granted bail by the circuit court and was complying with the bail terms, only to be re-arrested.
On his part, counsel for Tsekobi, Mr. Willie Amarfio, told he tribunal that there were no facts accompanying the original charge sheet or the substituted charge sheet.
Counsel for Alhaji Mohammed also prayed the court to grant his client bail on the ground that the accused person voluntarily reported to the police and was granted bail, only to be re-arrested.
Counsel assured the court the Alhaji Mohammed, who is currently on admission at the Police Hospital, would co-operate with the tribunal when granted bail.
on November 2, 2006, the court remaned the four to reappear on November 17, 2006, following Ms Aikins's submissin that he court should remand the accused person because investigations into the matter had not been completed.
