THE case involving Mr John Awunbila Ndego, said to be a top advisor of the Bawku Naba, who was arrested over the weekend for allegedly attempting to smuggle arms and ammunition to Bawku, will now be heard in Accra.
According to the Upper East Regional Police Crime Officer, Superintendent Victor Seth Agbetornyo, the case involving the accused, together with all others involving persons arrested so far in connection with the Bawku crisis, had been transferred to Accra for prosecution.
When this report was being filed yesterday, the regional crime officer said the police were awaiting the arrival of a specially arranged helicopter to airlift all the suspects, including those on remand, to Accra.
It was, however, uncertain the reasons behind the transfer of the cases to Accra for further hearing. Also, the total number of persons being transferred to Accra was not known as of press time.
Since the conflict broke out between the Mamprusis and Kusasis in the Bawku Municipality on December 31, 2007, there have been several arrests. While some of those arrested have been arraigned in Bolgatanga and remanded in prison custody, others have been granted bail.
