From the nature of what he told him, if what he told me was true then I believe that we had an innocent person in jail. He was a very distressed young man.

I think that the courts of this country, our judges should realy make an attempt to find a proper balance between the prosecution and the defense because if he had been outside, he could have afforded any level of medical care for himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf a bag is opened in my absence and things are found in my bag can you conclude that I am the person who put it there?&#8221; he questioned, speaking for Sima.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also was concerned about the conditions of the Nsawam Prison and the kind of health care available to prisoners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;If you look at the conditions of the hospital inside the Nsawam prison you will not risk lying there for even one minute\u201d Ken Kuranchie said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, authorities at the Police Hospital <span style=\"color: #666699;\"><a style=\"color: #666699;\" href=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/2014\/12\/05\/police-to-investigate-cause-of-exopas-ibrahim-simas-death\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>have begun investigations into the cause of the death<\/strong><\/a><\/span> of Ibrahim Sima.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By: Godwin Allotey Akweiteh\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlloteyGodwin\" data-show-count=\"false\">Follow @AlloteyGodwin<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Editor of the Daily Searchlight newspaper Ken Kuranchie who spent some days at the Nsawam Prison after being found guilty of contempt by the Supreme Court in 2013\u00a0has told\u00a0Citi News that Ibrahim Sima was a distressed man whilst in jail.
