A  State Attorney, Richard Addo-Larbi informed the court that the  substantive prosecutor was rushed to the hospital in the morning and  therefore sought an adjournment.<br \/>\nThe MP has had six out of  the nine charges originally preferred against him dropped by an Accra  Fast Track High Court. The court in its ruling on a submission of \u201cno  case\u201d discharged the MP on charges of prohibited immigrant, forgery of  passports, electoral registration offences and two counts of  unauthorised voting.<br \/>\nThe remaining charges are false  declaration of office before voting, perjury and deceit of a public  officer. Adamu Daramani, aka Adamu Daramani-Sakande, aka Adamou Sakande,  a Security Management Specialist, has pleaded not guilty and is on  GH\u00a210,000 bail with a surety.<br \/>\nThe prosecution\u2019s case is that  in 2008, after the Presidential and Parliamentary elections,  information reached the complainant, Sumaila Beibil, that the accused,  who won the Bawku Central seat on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party,  had multiple nationalities.<br \/>\nHe, therefore, reported the  case to the authorities and investigations revealed that Daramani had  multiple nationalities. The prosecution said investigations revealed  that Daramani had a Burkinabe passport number C10098625, which was  issued in November 1999 and expired in September 2009. It said Daramani,  as a Burkinabe, travelled on the said passport to Ghana on March 19,  2004 and departed on March 30, 2004.<br \/>\nThe prosecution said  Daramani also possessed and owned a United Kingdom passport number  094442650 on which he travelled to Ghana. He arrived in the country in  December 2005 and sought and obtained a Ghanaian entry visa with the  Ghana High Commission in London.<br \/>\nIn addition, when Daramani  returned to Ghana in 2007, he managed to secure a Ghanaian passport,  thereby evading and abusing the county\u2019s The prosecution said Daramani  used the same representation to get his constituents to nominate him as  parliamentary candidate and he was accepted, thereby making them to  believe that he is a Ghanaian and filed all the requisite forms. It  pointed out that Article 94 (2) of the 1992 Fourth Republican  Constitution forbade aliens from contesting elections in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The case in which Adamu Daramani, Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central is being tried for triple nationality was on Monday adjourned to January 25.
