Accra Jan. 31, - An Accra Central
District Court on Wednesday discharged Lawrence Nana Asiama Hanson, aka
Bulldog, the Chief Executive Officer of Bull Haus Entertainment, accused of
murdering Fennec Okyere, a Music Producer in May 2014.
The court presided over by Mr
Worlanyo Kotoku held that when the matter was called in court prosecution and
complainant in the matter were not in court.
According to the judge at the
court’s last sitting, prosecution was conspicuously absent adding that he (the
trial Judge) had no option than to discharge Bulldog.
Bulldog was however in court
without his counsel Mr Jerry Avernorgbor
Bulldog has been held on the
charges of conspiracy to murder and murder.
During the trial process,
Bulldog’s plea was not taken and the matter was referred to the Attorney
General’s Office for advice, however, he sought for bail and was granted at the
Human Rights Court, a division of the High Court.
After waiting for several months,
the Attorney General’s office advised last year that Bulldog should be
discharged but the Prosecution contended that there were some codified
information attached to the discharge, hence it was unable to discharge
Bulldog.
The District Court at the time
also said it was unable to discharge Bulldog because it had no copies of the
letter discharging him.
The court also ordered the State
Attorney who worked on his docket to appear and explained to court the ‘said
codified information’ in the discharge letter.
The State Attorney was not forth
coming. The case was adjourned on several occasions.
