'A wilful violation of court order' - Godfred Dame slams airport arrest of Hanan Abdul-Wahab
Godfred Yeboah Dame accused the Attorney-General and his deputy of orchestrating "A wilful violation of court order" by causing the arrest of his client, Hanan Abdul-Wahab, at the Accra International Airport on Sunday, July 5. Mr. Dame stated that a High Court, presided over by Justice Achibonga, granted Abdul-Wahab permission on June 29 to travel to the United Kingdom from July 4 to July 12 for an optician appointment.
Mr. Dame rejected claims made by Deputy Attorney-General Dr. Srem Sai in a Facebook post defending the arrest, insisting the government's explanation was false and intended to justify an unlawful action. He cited that the court's decision followed arguments from both the defence and the prosecution, including Dr. Srem Sai, and was consistent with previous rulings allowing accused persons facing trial to travel abroad. Mr. Dame mentioned high-profile cases such as Dr. Stephen Opuni, Seidu Agongo, Collins Dauda, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, and Dr. Kwabena Duffuor as examples of individuals regularly permitted to travel while on trial.
