Vetting: Dame lied under oath – Afoko family petitions Speaker
The family of Gregory Afoko, one of the men alleged to have conspired to kill the Upper East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alhaji Adam Mahama in 2015, has accused the Attorney General and Justice Minister-designate, Mr Godfred Yeboah Dame, of lying to the Appointments Committee of Parliament under oath.
The family stated that Mr Dame lied before the Appointments Committee when he said that “Gregory could not meet the bail conditions imposed”.
The Ayieta family of Sandema to which Mr Afoko belongs, has, therefore, petitioned the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, over the alleged lie peddled by Mr Dame under oath.
The petition, signed by the family's spokesperson, Asekabta Atong, noted: “Our plaint is that on 14th March 20219, the High Court, Accra, presided over by His Lordship George Buadic granted bail to our son and brother, Gregory Afoko and imposed some bail conditions.
“Gregory met all the bail conditions" but alleged that the police "in flagrant disregard of the orders of the court, refused to produce him at the registry of the court for the bail bond to be executed”.
