The Fast Track High Court Wednesday adjourned proceedings of the Alhaji Issah Mobilla trial to Thursday to enable counsel for the accused persons to respond to a motion filed by the prosecution on Monday.
The presiding judge, Mr Justice Mustapha Logoh, adjourned proceedings after counsel for the accused, Mr Thaddeus Sory, had informed the court that the accused had not been served with the motion.The prosecution, led by a Chief State Attorney, Ms Penelope Mamattah, had filed an applica-tion for the court to grant it leave to file additional evidence in the case.In the affidavit supporting the motion, the prosecution noted that the leave to file additional evidence was premised on the fact that fresh pieces of evidence had been brought to its attention after the case had begun.It is also the case of the prosecution that the prosecution was not seized with the evidence at the time the summary of evidence was compiled because it was not included in the statement of the witnesses.According to the prosecution, since the evidence was not included in the summary of evidence, it had become necessary for it to file notice of additional evidence, in accordance with Section 182 Clause three (3) of Act 30.
It noted that the fresh evidence was material to the case.Counsel for the first and second accused persons, therefore, prayed the court to adjourn pro-ceedings to Thursday to enable him to respond appropriately.Three soldiers - Corporal Yaw Appiah, Private Eric Modzaka and Private Seth Goka are standing trial for allegedly murdering Alhaji Mobilia, a former chairman of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) in the Northern Region.
