Lawyer for the emabtleed Chairman Wontumi, Andy Appiah Kubi has revealed why his client is still in the custody of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) despite meeting the bail conditions.
According to lead counsel Andy Appiah-Kubi, all the necessary documentation for the two sureties has been completed, with significant support from the former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong.
“We have been able to provide the sureties, that one, I can assure you, and I’m very grateful to Honourable Bryan Acheampong, who has supported me to file the documents,” Mr Appiah-Kubi told JoyNews.
Appiah-Kubi however revealed that that despite having met all bail conditions, his client will not be going home yet due to a fresh legal application filed earlier in the day.
He noted that the legal team is working swiftly to resolve the new court matter and expressed hope that the issue could be cleared by Monday, which would pave the way for Chairman Wontumi’s release.
“My client is not going home tonight. We encountered a challenge that needs to be addressed before we can go forward. Unknown to me, there was an application to frustrate what we are doing, so we will deal with it on Monday. It is an application that was not filed by my good self, but that prohibits us.”
