The third accused person in the ongoing ambulance procurement trial, Richard Jakpa, has insisted that the Attorney General (AG) pressured him to adopt a specific theory to build his case.
Mr Jakpa claimed that the AG was insistent about framing the narrative in a way that supported the State's case, rather than presenting an impartial view.
He stated that the AG's theory was not only suggestive but strongly impressed upon him.
He emphasised that he felt coerced into aligning his testimony with the AG's perspective, which he believed compromised the integrity of the prosecution.
This assertion has added a new dimension to the trial, raising questions about the fairness and objectivity of the prosecution's approach.
The tape recording of Jakpa's conversation with the AG, which was played in court, revealed the extent of the alleged pressure exerted on him.
In the recording, the AG is believed to have been heard urging Mr Jakpa to adopt a particular stance, which the accused now claims was intended to manipulate the outcome of the trial.
