The decision follows the submission of a comprehensive medical report on the mental and physical state of the accused.<\/p>\n
Gregory Afoko has reportedly been ill since December 2016, causing the case to delay due to his supposed ill-health.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”eoT5Q1CpuihMMP7vUO80AgiWazpttVwM”]Gregory Afoko is on trial on the charges of conspiracy to commit crime and murder of the late Mr. Adams Mahama, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Upper East Regional Chairman.<\/p>\n
He is accused of attacking the former NPP Chairman with acid, which led to his death. He has however pleaded not guilty to the\u00a0charges.<\/p>\n
In February 2017, an Accra District Court committed Afoko to stand trial at the High Court.<\/p>\n
The State during the committal proceedings, tendered 17 exhibits in respect of the trial, which included Afoko\u2019s caution and charge statements as well as a post-mortem report of the deceased.<\/p>\n
The accused person is a brother to suspended NPP Chairman Paul Afoko. The incident that led to his arrest occurred at a time when supposed factions within the NPP\u00a0were at each other’s neck.<\/p>\n
