Former Assistant Commissioner of Police, Dr. Benjamin Agordzor, is daring the Attorney General to appeal his acquittal if he finds it problematic.
The ex-officer was one of three individuals acquitted on Wednesday, January 24, over an alleged coup plot.
In that case, six individuals were convicted of conspiracy to commit high treason and committing high treason.
Speaking in an exclusive interview on Upfront with Raymond Acquah, ACP Benjamin Agordzor insists that the courts will throw out any such move.
"Even when the court has pronounced me acquitted and discharged, the Attorney General is walking out there to say that if they had done their work very well I would have been also imprisoned.
"How could you be doing this kind of thing? He is the Attorney General, if he had anything else, if he had some problem with the judgment he knows what to do. Go to the Supreme Court, go on appeal," he said.
He called the A-G's bluff saying "I dare them to go, put me on record. I beg them to go to the Supreme Court."
ACP Agordzo was acquitted alongside, Col Gameli, and another junior military officer, Corporal Seidu Abubakar.
The charges, dating back to April 24, 2021, involved Dr. Frederick Yao Mac-Palm, the late Chief Executive Officer of Citadel Hospital, ACP Dr. Agordzo, and eight others.
The accused faced various charges, including conspiracy to high treason, abetment to high treason, and high treason.
