Counsel for entertainment icon, Kwasi Kyei Darkwah (KKD) has said he will use all available means to ensure his client is granted bail.<\/p>\n
According to Nana Asante Bediatuo, there are several cases of alleged rape in which the accused persons were\u00a0granted bail; therefore it is disappointing that his client was refused bail.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”GgTqCORF3uf4VwKCoVFndo52gXGMkPcg”]\u201cI am disappointed because frankly, the facts as produced by the prosecution do not establish on the face that indeed, a crime has been committed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
KKD was on Tuesday charged with rape and denied bail<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>by the Kaneshie District Magistrates’ Court.<\/p>\n He was subsequently remanded into prison custody to re-appear on January 8, 2015.<\/p>\n This follows his arrest on Saturday night at the African Regent Hotel in Accra for allegedly \u2018raping\u2019 a 19-year-old-girl, Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson.<\/p>\n His counsel has denied the allegation<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>stating that the sex with the complainant was consensual.<\/p>\n KKD\u2019s family members have also alleged that they suspect foul play<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in the circumstances leading to his arrest.<\/p>\n Speaking to the media after court proceedings on Tuesday, Nana Asante Bediatuo acknowledged that \u201ceven though a crime of rape on the Statute book is non-bailable in certain circumstances, the court has granted bail before but we\u2019ll take it a bit further.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Efua Idan Osam\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
