The decision was taken because the  Principal State Attorney, Mr Rexford Wiredu, who is the Prosecutor in  the case is indisposed.<\/p>\n<p>Defence counsel Mr Yonni Kulendi who  sympathised with the prosecutor\u2019s plight prayed the court to oblige the  adjournment.   Daramani is being tried for triple nationality, and has  had six out of the nine charges originally preferred against him dropped  by the court.<\/p>\n<p>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.The remaining charges are false declaration of  office before voting, perjury and deceit of a public officer.<\/p>\n<p>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. The 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.<\/p>\n<p>He, 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.<\/p>\n<p>It said Daramani, as a  Burkinabe, travelled on the said passport to Ghana on March 19, 2004 and  departed on March 30, 2004. The 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.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, when Daramani returned to Ghana in  2007, he managed to secure a Ghanaian passport, thereby evading and  abusing the county\u2019s electoral system and laws.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>An Accra Fast Track High Court on Friday adjourned the trial of Adamu Daramani, Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central to March 4.
