He further mentioned that there were video and audio proofs to support his statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t flee from our own case. We are supposed to be served with a hearing notice on the date that has been called by the court. So, I received a call from the bailiff of the court that he had a process for me. Unfortunately, on Tuesday, I wasn\u2019t in Accra. He called me at exactly 10:50 am. So, I informed him that I wasn\u2019t around, but I was going to give him the number of the plaintiff so that he could serve the plaintiff with the hearing notice or whatever document that he had. So, I sent him the number at 10:57. He acknowledged receipt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was therefore very surprised to hear on Wednesday that this bailiff alleged that he walked into my office, and I had left an instruction that no process was to be received\u2026Perhaps he didn\u2019t know. We have a CCTV system in this place that has an audio capability. So, I have released the CCTV footage and the audio of his interaction with my front desk, and I have sent it to you. You can play it for the whole world to hear whether anyone at the front desk ever said what he said. What he did was a complete and barefaced lie,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nii Kpappo Addo, lawyer for Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, the South Dayi Member of Parliament (MP), has denied allegations that he directed a staff in his office to decline documents from the Supreme Court regarding the case against approval of President Nana Akufo-Addo\u2019s new ministerial nominees.
