An Osu Magistrate's Court has granted reliefs being sought by Ivorian fugitive, Justin Katinan Kone, who was fighting extradition to Ivory Coast to stand trial for murder and financial crimes.
Mr. Katinan argued before Magistrate Aboagye Tanor that charges he was facing back home were politically motivated and that he should not be extradited.
The court agreed with the former Spokesperson to ousted leader, Laurent Gbagbo in its verdict, Friday after months of legal wrangling.
His lawyer Patrick Sorgbodzor told Joy News he is satisfied with the ruling.
Describing the ruling as "welcome relief" to all, Sorgbodzor said they can finally put the case behind them and move on with their lives.
More soon.
