The 60 persons were discharged by an Accra Circuit Court on Wednesday, October 21, 2020.
No reasons whatsoever were given by the state prosecutors as to why the charges leveled against them were dropped.
According to a report filed by Citinewsroom, the state prosecutor, Sylvester Mensah, prayed the Court to grant the State’s application for withdrawal of charges and to discharge the 60 accused persons.
Some of the defense lawyers, however, insisted that the State attributed reasons for its decision.
The lawyers feared that the State had employed a tactic to re-arrest and re-arraign the accused persons the moment they were discharged by the Court.
