\"NanaNational Democratic Congress Member of Parliament for Yendi, Hon. Baba Iddrissu, has made a rather shocking claim that the Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo influenced the recent High Court ruling that freed all 15 suspects standing trial for the alleged murder of the late Dagbon Overlord.<\/p>\n

The MP claims that prior to the ruling on Tuesday March 29, Nana Akufo-Addo had visited Dagbon to promise the Abudus that he would secure the acquittal and discharge of the suspects.<\/p>\n

Government has come under intense pressure from members of the Andani Gate, since the ruling on Tuesday March 29.<\/p>\n

The Andanis have expressed disappointment at the ruling mainly because the Mills administration made it a major campaign promise to arrest and prosecute the killers of the late King.<\/p>\n

Although the suspects were discharged due to lack of evidence, according to the trial Judge, Government believes that something went amiss hence its determination to ensure a reverse of the ruling at the Court of Appeal.<\/p>\n

But the Yendi MP is convinced that Nana Akufo-Addo had a hand in determining Justice E.K Ayebi\u2019s ruling on the case.<\/p>\n

According to him, the Former Foreign Affairs Minister visited the home of a disputed chief in Yendi where he was barred from visiting and made a promise to ensure the release of the 15 Abudus.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was influenced by people like Akufo-Addo and the rest. He went to Yendi and told them that he will come back to Accra and get the guys released. I am saying it as a Member of Parliament. Let him challenge me. I am not afraid of Akufo-Addo although I respect him as an astute Politician but I don\u2019t buy his methods\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Asked how exactly Nana Addo influenced the Court\u2019s verdict, the MP retorted \u201c How did Akufo-Addo get to know that the people will be released to the extent that he will go to Yendi and tell the people that he was coming to Accra to get them released? How did Tijani (one of the suspects) get to know that he was going to be released to the extent that he pained his House, paints it white and buys white calico for distribution long before they were released? How did their release coincide with the birthday of Nana Akufo-Addo? Ask Nana Addo whether he went to Yendi to say that or not?<\/p>\n

According to the MP, some Abudus who participated in the horrendous assassination of the Late King are walking the streets of Yendi freely.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn any case, the mere fact that they have been released doesn\u2019t mean that Ya-Naa was not murdered. The facts are there that Ya-Naa was murdered by the Abudus. No doubt about that so this issue will continue until we get to the truth. What about the District Chief Executive who was implicated and is walking free? This is a guy who knew that they were going to be released months before the ruling. What is happening to Ghana\u2019s rule of Law? And you want Andanis to sit down quietly? No! They wouldn\u2019t” he noted.<\/p>\n

“I am the MP for Yendi and I cannot risk going to my constituency because if I go and I am slaughtered, I caused it myself so I won\u2019t do that. If I go to Yendi and the Andanis kill me, they are justified in doing so. This is because some Judge goes to sit in Court and he thinks that one particular social group should suffer perpetually at the hands of people who think that they will always get away with crime\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n
