Court refuses ‘cops killer’ bail

Eric Kojo Duah, aka Sakora, the man accused of killing two police officers at Buduburam in the Central Region on August 28, 2019, has been refused bail by the Accra High Court.

Counsel for Duah, Mr Augustines Obour, made an oral application for bail at the court today(Tuesday) when his client made his first appearance.

He argued that Duah had been in custody for far too long, and that it would be in the interest of justice if he was granted bail.

Counsel said his client had competent sureties to secure his bail, was not a flight risk, but was ever ready to appear in court always to defend himself.

In response, the prosecutor, Mrs Frances Mullen Ansah, a Senior State Attorney, opposed the oral bail application, and submitted that counsel must come formally

The presiding judge, Justice Elfreda Denkyi, refused the bail application, explaining that she was not inclined to grant bail
