The refusal of a defiant trial judge to allow suspects in a drug case to be re-arrested after being bailed by the court, has led to a standoff with National security operatives said to be officials of the Bureau of National Investigations.<\/p>\n
The BNI officials swarmed the precincts of the Osu District Magistrate Court in an attempt to re-arrest the suspects who remain holed up in the courtroom but the trial judge is dead set against that move.<\/p>\n
A reinforcement of police personnel has been sent in to support the arrest of the suspects.<\/p>\n
It is unclear why the security officers want to re-arrest the suspects, but the impasse is reported to have drawn large crowds to the court precincts.<\/p>\n
PeaceFM\u2019s Yaw Obeng Manu who is at the scene reports that the court had earlier granted bail conditions including a GHS10,000 each and the seizure of the suspects\u2019 passports about a week ago. But after the suspects met the bail conditions, the security officials refused to administer the bail, a situation that did not go down well with the trial judge, resulting in the tense stand-off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
