 The
man who stood surety for Joseph Drah, the self-styled abortion
specialist at Universal Mission Clinic who allegedly bonked women before
aborting their babies, has been given up to January 21 to produce the
doctor to stand trial
He was granted a GH¢10,000 bail with one surety.
The
surety was summoned by an Accra High Court after the accused had failed
to appear before the court presided over by Justice Abdulai Iddrisu,
for a continuation of his trial on illegal abortion and operating an
abortion clinic without licence.
Ace investigative reporter, Anas
Aremeyaw Anas, who is the brain behind a video on the accused, had
testified in court about how the video recording on the doctor having
sex with his victims without condom got into his hands.
Drah has
been charged with five counts of abortion and operating a facility
without licence; but he pleaded not guilty to the charges, denying any
wrongdoing.
The principal state attorney, Mrs. Evelyn Keelson,
who presented the facts of the case, said in March 2012 Anas had
information about the Drah operating a health facility without a licence
so his activities were made known.
She stated that a video of
the accused was released in which he was having sexual intercourse with
some women shortly before performing the abortions on them.
According
to Mrs. Keelson, the police were alerted, and they immediately
proceeded to the place and found the accused operating the said medical
facility.
The principal state attorney disclosed that a search
conducted at the medical facility revealed a container containing human
blood, medical instruments and assorted drugs and so Drah was
consequently arrested.
In addition, she said the suspect also
admitted to operating the facility without a licence and was
consequently arraigned after police had concluded investigations. |
