It has emerged that the younger
brother of former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) Chairman,
Gregory Afoko is dead.
Gregory Afoko who was standing trial for the
suspected murder of Adams Mahama passed away whilst receiving treatment at the
hospital in Accra.
Gregory has been on and off the hospital for over a
year now for an unknown ailment.
He was scheduled to appear in
court on November 24, 2020.
Gregory Afoko until his demise
was standing trial for the 2015 suspected murder of Adams Mahama who was at the
time the Upper East Regional Chairman of the NPP.
Mr. Adams Mahama suffered severe bodily injuries
after a substance suspected to be acid was allegedly poured on him in front of
his house in Bolgatanga on May 20, 2015.
He later died from the injuries at the Bolgatanga
General Hospital.
Afoko was initially the only one standing trial after Alangdi
allegedly absconded from Ghana.
After more than three years of
trial, the Attorney-General (A-G) filed a nolle prosequi on January 28, 2019,
to discontinue the trial following the arrest of Alangdi.
Afoko challenged the nolle
prosequi by filing a case at the Supreme Court, but on June 19, 2019, the apex
court dismissed the case on the premise that Afoko failed to prove that the
nolle prosequi was capricious, unfair and arbitrary.
