A group calling itself Friends of Rhoda have besieged the Asokwa District Court in Kumasi ahead of the hearing of a case in which a lecturer at KNUST is accused of kidnapping his wife.

Dr Wilberforce Aggrey has been standing trial over the disappearance of his wife, Rhodaline Amoah-Darko, staff at the Lands Commission.

Since September, Dr Aggrey, who has been in police custody, was last week denied bail by a Kumasi High Court after his lawyers applied for bail.

The police had earlier secured a court order for psychiatric examination after he was initially denied bail by the Asokwa District Court.

The Friends of Rhoda, mostly made up of co-workers at Lands Commission, classmates, and well-wishers stormed the Asokwa District Court in branded T-shirts with pictures of the victim.

Inscription on the front shirts they adorned was “#Bring RhodaBack", whereas, the back had "Justice4Rhoda: Resourceful, Humble, Outstanding Mother, Ambidextrous and Astute.”

Today is the third time Dr. Wilberforce Aggrey is appearing before the Asokwa District Court.

The group first made its presence felt when they hoisted a banner in front of the Kumasi High Court ahead of the bail application hearing brought before it by the lawyers of Dr Wilberforce Aggrey.
