The Circuit Court in Accra has discharged Alberta Abi Amartey and Emmanuel Anang Yemoh in a case involving their alleged role in defrauding a lawyer, Solomon Aubin, of GH¢190,000 over land sales.
This followed the striking out of the matter for want of prosecution.
Presiding Judge Kwabena Kodua Obiri-Yeboah gave the ruling on Wednesday, April 21, last year, after noting that the prosecution had failed to file the necessary processes despite earlier warnings.
The third accused person, Philip Addogah, was absent from court.
In October 2023, the two were granted GH¢150,000.00 bail each, accused of conspiring with Addogah to obtain the money from Mr Solomon Aubin under the pretext of selling six litigation-free plots at Abokobi for a church project.
The complainant later faced claims of ownership from the Brekusu and Akrodey families, leading to the demolition of part of a fence wall he had started building.
The Prosecution earlier accused the three of having known that the land was under litigation before the transaction.
