One of the lawyers for the three South African ex-police officers who were detained in Ghana,\u00a0Nana Asante Bediatuo, is unhappy with\u00a0government’s decision to repatriate\u00a0them since that has denied them the opportunity ton clear themselves of any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
The Ghana Immigration Service revoked the Ghanaian visas issued to\u00a0the three retired security personnel explaining that they concealed their motive for travelling when they originally applied for the visas.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”82AO7oT3ZWnynqcTwPlegVCyRGHeSY3j”]But Nana Asante Bediatuo argued in a Citi News<\/strong> interview that government could be cited for contempt.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Minister of Interior deporting the three while their case is pending in court is also a matter that can be described as a matter that is in contempt of the court. All they had to do was to file a nolle prosequi and inform the court that they are not willing to pursue the matter.\u00a0But they brought them to court, they were in the custody of the court through the admission to bail and yet they were whisked away and deported. The question is whether they even had a right of hearing before they were deported. So a lot of matters arise out of these acts by the BNI and the Minister of Interior.\u201d<\/p>\n Three SA tampered with election documents\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The Interior Ministry had announced that one of the three ex-Police officers had in his possession, a comprehensive document on the vulnerability of some key workers of Superlock Technologies Limited, the company hired by the Electoral Commission to transmit tallied election results.<\/p>\n According to the Ministry, the dossier on the company and the key staff is to possibly compromise them. \u201cA comprehensive report on the operations of Superlock Technologies Limited (STL) and an assessment of some key staff\u2019s vulnerability for possible compromise was retrieved from Hazis\u2019s [One of the ex 3 South African Police officers ] room. STL is the company contracted by the Electoral Commission to transmit tallied election results.<\/p>\n \u201cHazis denied authoring the document but indicated that it was given to him by Dani Isaaca, an Israeli based in South- Africa. Hazis claimed he had not read the document which had been in his possession for about three (3) weeks. During interrogation it was evident that he was conversant with the content of the document,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n \n The three were on Tuesday repatriated to South Africa.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin A.
