Gregory Afoko and Asabke Alangdi, the two men accused of killing Adams
Mahama, expressed different sentiments when they made their first
appearance at the Accra Central Court together today.
While Alangdi broke down in court and shed tears, Afoko expressed
outrage at the turn of events, describing the police and the whole case
against him as lies.
“Adams is my sister’s son, why are you people always twisting the
story… twisting it always. Ooooh Ghana, it’s a shame,” he said.
Alangdi, made his first appearance in court today after his arrest by
the police last Friday in Ivory Coast, while Afoko was in court for the
first time after the state filed a nolle prosequi to discontinue with
his trial.
The nolle prosequi follows the arrest of Asabke Alangdi in Ivory Coast last Friday.
Alangdi had been at large since the death of Alhaji Mahama on May 2015 at Bolgatanga.
Alhaji Mahama suffered severe bodily injuries after a substance
suspected to be acid was allegedly poured on him in front of his house
in Bolgatanga around 11 p.m. on May 20, 2015. He later died from the
injuries at the Bolgatanga General Hospital.
Meanwhile, the two have been provisionally charged with conspiracy to commit murder and murder.
The court, presided over by Ms Efua Sackey, remanded them into police custody and adjourned the case to February 12, 2019.
