Kumasi, Jan 24, - A photocopier
operator has run into trouble with the law over copyright violation.
Inusah Haruna has been arrested
for allegedly reproducing law textbooks, authored by an Appeal Court Judge,
Justice Dennis Dominic Adjei, and seven others.
He was on Wednesday put before a
Kumasi Circuit Court charged with reproducing literary work for sale without
authority.
He pleaded not guilty to the
offence and he was granted bail with three sureties to make his next appearance
on February 20.
Assistant Superintendent of
Police (ASP) Philip Jagri told the court presided over by Mrs Lydia Osei Marfo
that the accused has been operating a photocopying business at the Kwame
Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) campus.
The complainants received
information that Haruna had been reproducing law textbooks they had authored
for sale and investigations led to his arrest on January 15.
Some of books he had reproduced
for sale included “Land law, practices and conveyancing in Ghana - 2015”
written by Justice Adjei, “Civic procedure - 2011” by Kwame Tetteh, “Essentials
of the Ghana law of evidence and the law of chieftaincy in Ghana - 2014 and
2008” by Justice S.A Brobbey, “Law of taxation in Ghana - 2017”, by Dr. Ben
Kumbour, Abdulai Ali Nakyea and William Kofi Wusu Demetia and “Criminal Law in
Ghana -1985,” by P.K. Twumasi.
