The Goaso Circuit Court in the Ahafo Region has remanded three alleged fake Agro-chemical dealers in police custody for two weeks.
The suspects, Dannyor David, 35, Quaye Edward, 24, and Osei Joseph, 33, and two other suspects; Felix Bempong, 29, Ben Amoah, 50, are supposed to appear before the Goaso Circuit Court on November 17, 2020.
Prosecuting, Police Detective, Inspector Eric Calvin Dzordor, told the court presided by Justice Charles Akwasi Acheampong that the accused together with two others, who could not appear before court, were arrested for trading in fake AF Confidence Cocoa insecticides, originally manufactured by New Okaff Industries Limited.
The suspects were arrested at Kasapin in the Ahafo Region on the verge of distributing the fake chemicals to customers.
The counsel for plaintiffs, Lawyer Vasco Nyamekye, pleaded for bail for his clients, but the court did not grant the request and the fact also reserved because the two other suspects, who could not appear before court were admitted on bail to assist the police for the arrest of others.
The court would rule on the bail application made by counsel on next adjournment, November 17, when the case would be fully presented.
Meanwhile, another suspect, Atta Kwadwo, who is in Kumasi Central Prisons custody for trading in a similar fake AF Confidence Cocoa insecticides in Kumasi-Kejetia will also appear before the Nkawie Circuit Court on November 17. – Ghanaweb
