The police on Tuesday afternoon re-arrested the two men linked to the murder of a former Member of Parliament (MP) for Abuakwa-North, Mr J.B. Danquah-Adu for further investigations. This was a few hours after they had been discharged by the Accra High Court.
The Attorney General (AG) filed a nolle prosequi in the case of the two, which had reached the stage where a jury was to be constituted for the trial of Daniel Asiedu and Vincent Bosso.
However according to graphic online, the moment the two men stepped out of the court room, they were re-arrested by the armed policemen who were stationed all over the court premises.
The AG explained that after studying the case docket, it was realized that there was the need to do further investigations.
Technically, investigators cannot conduct further investigations and interrogate the accused persons whilst the trial was underway, hence the filling of the nolle prosequi.
The filing of nolle prosequi meant the Attorney General wanted to discontinue with the prosecution.
A Senior State Attorney, Ms Sefakor Batsa, told the court on Tuesday that, based on section 54 of the criminal and other offences Act , 1960 (Act 30) the AG had filed a nolle prosequi not to continue with the prosecution.

@1luv and Yaw: It is not compulsory to comment on every story even when you do not understand the issue at stake. Did you read the article very well? If you don't understand the legal technicalities it is better to remain silent than to expose your ignorance to the whole world through your comment wai. I shy give you sef.
Waa look.
Now the real culprits can be pursued and hunted down. . . Let the ***barred word*** bury their heads in confusion. This is LAW not SADA guinea fowls
Better.Arrest the wife of the late MP too because there is no smoke without fire. How can you live with your husband with been in talking terms.
this is not u_turn matter, you can not investigate the accused person whilst the trial is still going on and thats the law, if you want to do more investigation you have to release and re_arrest them.. so now that they are in police custody and not in court we can now ask them who send them to the house?
