The Military High Command has requested the assistance of the International Criminal Police Organization, Interpol, to arrest one of the suspects fingered in the alleged murder of the former Convention Peoples Party (CPP) Northern Regional Chairman Issa Mobila.Private Seth Goka escaped from military custody at the Michel Camp near Tema.The case was heard in court for the first time yesterday and the trial judge ordered the military to produce the suspect by November 26, 2009.Military officials told the court, presided over by Justice Senyo Dzamefeh, they could not establish the whereabouts of Private Goka who was expected to have been in custody with his two other colleagues, Private Modzaka Eric and Corporal Appiah Yaw.Meanwhile, the Attorney General has indicated she would file a motion for the jury trying the case to be confined.The aim is to prevent the jury from being influenced especially by public opinion during the trial, a law lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kofi Abotsi, explained."That is usually not requested unless it so necessary. The request will come or the application may be necessary when, for instance, the circumstances of the trial has generated so much public attention or so much public interest," Mr Abotsi added.The trial of the three men follow intense calls on the ruling National Democratic Congress administration to bring to book perpetrators of the act.Source: Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
