remanded into police custody<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0on Wednesday by an Accra Magistrate Court and during proceedings, the prosecutor argued\u00a0that the accused and Marwako management were threatening to dismiss staff members who had been invited by the police to serve as witnesses in the case.<\/p>\nBut Mr. Chaaban\u2019s lawyer, Augustine Asafo Adjei, rubbished such claims as false, noting that the police has said it has already concluded investigations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Mr. Asafo Adjei also asserted that, during the court proceedings, the investigator looking into the case stated categorically that there was no external interference.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Citi News<\/strong>‘ Fred Djabanor, he said: \u201cSo the issue is, if that is even true, which people are they going to parade as witnesses before the court? Who was there to come and testify? The police have said they have investigated that matter. What the police have said is that they have completed investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cThat assertion by the police is false. See how they disgraced themselves before the court where the investigator who conducted the\u00a0investigation is also saying another thing, then the commander comes in to say another thing\u2026 the investigator who is supposed to be doing the investigation said the person didn\u2019t interfere.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Chabaan, who is a Supervisor at the Abelemkpe branch of the\u00a0Marwako\u00a0Restaurant, is said to have grabbed the head of\u00a0the 25-year-old Ghanaian female employee\u00a0and dipped her face in blended pepper.<\/p>\n
