The Accra High Court has ruled that the charge of assault on a public officer filed against the National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, is right in law.
Lawyers for Mr Ofosu Ampofo had filed an application with a case that the charges were defective because the prosecution failed to provide any particulars on them.
They, therefore, wanted the court to strike out the two counts of assault on a public officer against the NDC National Chairman.
But in a ruling Friday, the court, presided over by Justice Samuel Asiedu, held that the said defects argued by the defence were not fatal and that the charges were recognisable under the law. He, therefore, ordered the commencement of the trial on July 8, 2019.
Case of the A-G
According to the prosecution’s facts, following the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election debacle on January 31, 2019, Ofosu Ampofo met with some NDC party communicators on February 3, 2019.
The facts explained that at the said meeting, Ofosu Ampofo and Boahen set out a road map of criminal activities, including violence against the EC Chairperson, Mrs Jean Mensa and the Chairman of the National Peace Council, Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante.
It said an audio recording of the said meeting was leaked leading to investigations by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service into the comments on the tape.
The prosecution added that on February 20, 2019, Boahen granted a radio interview in which he confirmed his participation in the said meeting and also revealed that the leaked audio recording was a true reflection of what transpired at the February 3, 2019 meeting.

master Ofosu plead for forgiveness otherwise you would sweat. how do you attack the EC. instead of looking for a way to win, you choose an unlawful manner like what you did in 2016. this time you are hot.
Ndc lawyers are not good everytime they lose cases in court because if their arrogance and pride. Look at them at the Election petition in 2012 spinning themselves around in court like they owed the whole world and the end result was mere 5-4 which meant the opposition won the case but according to Justice Atuguba they gave power to the ndc because of peace but not because they won, of all the spinning and turning around in court like they were the best in the whole world the underdog Lawyer Addison did fantastically well and won but was shortchanged! Ndc lawyers know it all ,arrogance and pride will send Ofosu Ampofo to jail ! If you have a high profile case like this these ndc lawyers are not the best to consult, Amaliba where has he won a case before which court after commenting outside court and how do you win a case with such lawyers? a lawyer without home sense and wisdom is not somebody to be contracted with such high profile case. Good lawyers in nature have home sense and wisdom without books can tell you a good case and bad case! If good lawyers were handling Ofosu Ampofo they would have advised him to apologize to the Ghanaian people and retract his statement and assure the people he would help the police to maintain peace and order in Ghana,it wouldn't have been to this! ndc let them send you to court we are behind you will change your comfort zone. Remember, NPP rule of law works in their favour because they do diligent work on cases, they don't rush like you, they take their time to punch you and give you more rounds to go so that at least you will be knocked out by one case. Ndc don't learn and that's why npp tell you ndc either don't read or they read but don't understand.Ndc are their own enemies and destroying their party with stu*pidity.
Yoo, Mr.Ofosu Ampofo, you see how you and your lawyers are sweating in court? You've found your 'smoothness level'. All the NDC hooligans who go and come with you will not be there to help you when you're in the docket--you'll be there alone. So Massa, please wise up...same goes to all politicians. Be careful what you say and when you say it.
NDc is incompetent in every aspect of life. Opposition,the law, in government, propaganda, incompetent galore
