The fate of Kwabena Amaning alias Tagor and Alhaji Issah Abass, charged with dealing in narcotics is to be decided next week Wednesday.The two accused persons have been on remand for almost a year at the Usher Fort Prison in Accra.Both prosecution and defense made their final submissions on Thursday to prove the guilt or otherwise of the two accused.Making her final submission, the Chief State Attorney, Gertrude Aikins countered all the legal arguments raised by lawyers for the accused.She said apart from the tape, the Police conducted further investigations in other areas.She debunked the defence counsel's assertion that the charges leveled against the accused were not defined hence flawed.Ms Aikins submitted that the offences were clearly defined in the Criminal Procedure Code, adding that the period during which the offence was committed had been stipulated.She said the transcripts on the meeting at ACP Kofi Boakye's house at Kanda, in Accra, indicated that Amaning and Abass agreed to look for the parcel of missing drugs (cocaine).According to Ms AIkins, statements by Amaning and Abass indicated that they agreed to look for the missing cocaine.Ms Aikins noted that the confessions by the accused persons were made voluntarily and were not staged managed, adding that this was proved by Professor John Peter French, an international forensic voice expert.On the question of ACP Kofi Boakye being a relevant material in the case, Ms Aikins maintained that although he was a police officer, he was not a material witness."More so, the prosecution did not need multiplicity of witnesses to make their case."Additional files from GNA
