An Accra High Court will today decide the outcome of a case involving ACP Benjamin Agordzo, accused of planning a coup.
In 2021, ACP Benjamin Agordzo and eight others were charged with conspiring to commit high treason.
In 2019, ten people were arrested during a police operation at the Citadel hospital, which linked them to an alleged plan aimed at destabilizing the country's stability.
The prosecution presented 13 witnesses, including members of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).
Throughout the trial, video evidence was produced, shedding light on the accused defendants' putative scheme to destabilize the nation, including their alleged intent to manufacture ammunition.
Despite the claims, each defendant has declared their innocence and presented their defences.
Unfortunately, Dr. Mac Palm, who owned the hospital where the suspects were detained, had his testimony rejected because he died last year.
The coming ruling today will determine the fate of the accused, who, according to the constitution, might face the death penalty if found guilty.
