Awal Mohammed questions why arrested suspects are sent to only Court 9 and Adenta Court.Added:
And it [clears throat] is really interesting that almost all those who were arrested from everywhere in this country were sent to only two courts, the court nine and the Adenta court. Why is that so? That's why I am asking that in Kumasi the the receiving court of appeal in Kumasi where you can do everything in Kumasi, but people were arrested, about four people were arrested from Kumasi and brought to Accra and they spent days in police custody. Some were not even sent to court. For instance, uh uh Sai Obama, he was not even sent to court. It was the police custody that they sent him. And they [clears throat] give onerous bail conditions.
What did I bring you say?
That is so different from the commentaries that were running this country that you are not a judge, you are a political judge, you have put something on your head like a sack and so on. I don't endorse incendiary comment whatever form or shape.
But where we have gotten to as a country why must someone be hauled like a criminal because of free speech?
