Alfred Woyome to appear before court today
Reports reaching e.tv Ghana news indicate that embattled business man and NDC financier, Alfred Agbesi Woyome and a Chief State Attorney, Samuel Nerquaye-Tetteh are expected to appear before court today, Monday, February 6, 2012.
The police will seek to remand the two persons to enable them continue with their investigations until charges are pressed against the two.
The probability of the State going to court is to forestall Woyome’s lawyers going to court to seek bail under the 48-hour custody rule.
Woyome was arrested last Friday and was refused bail despite pleas from his lawyers that he should be admitted to self-recognisance bail. The Chief State Attorney was picked up by the police on Saturday for questioning.
The arrest of the two follows the release of the interim report by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) last Wednesday after its investigations into the payment of some GHC 51million judgment debt to Woyome.
The EOCO report stated that Nerquaye-Tetteh’s wife, Mrs Gifty Nerquaye- Tetteh, was paid GH¢400,000 by Woyome on June 16, 2011. The reason for the payment of that amount is yet to be established.
According to a report by the Daily Graphic newspaper, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service said the police hoped to talk to other persons indicted by the EOCO report.
The newspaper further stated that wife of the Chief State Attorney, Mrs Nerquaye- Tetteh, was on Sunday interrogated by a team of investigators at the CID Headquarters.
The investigators were seeking answers to the circumstances under which the GH¢400,000 was paid into her account.
It could not be confirmed if Mrs Nerquaye- Tetteh, who is said to be nursing two young children, would be detained or charged.
“We need to hear from her first and also check on the veracity of her claims that she is nursing two young children before we decide to keep her in custody or not,” the CID said.
It also indicated that it would invite many more people, explaining that “we are going one step after another. We will not rush”.
The government has served notice that all who deserve to face the law over the scandal will be hauled before court.
