Alleged Murderers Of Mobilla Seek Redress At The Supreme Court
|
|
Two soldiers who are being held for the alleged murder of Alhaji
Issah Mobilla, ex-Northern Regional Chairman of Convention People's
Party (CPP), have gone to the Supreme Court (SC) to seek redress over
the list of jurors.
Stating the grounds of appeal before the SC, the soldiers contended
that the Court of Appeal (CA) erred when it held that the appellants
(Soldiers) failed to demonstrate any exceptional circumstance to
justify the grant of application.
The CA also erred when it held that they failed to prove that the
application was neither sanction by law or practice. This came to light
when Private Eric Modzaka and Corporal Yaw Appiah appeared before an Accra Fast Track High Court for the commencement of the trial.
Mr. Thaddeus Sory, defence counsel mentioned to the Fast Track High
Court that they had filed a notice of appeal before the Supreme Court
and was therefore praying the FTHC to stay proceedings pending the
hearing of the appeal.
