A former Director of the Transformation Office of the Ghana Police Service, ACP Dr. Benjamin Agordzor has been remanded into BNI custody again after he was arraigned today at the Kaneshie District court.
He will re-appear in court on Friday November 08, 2019.
Lawyers for ACP Agordzor, raised preliminary objection in court on Wednesday contesting the jurisdiction of the District court to hear his alleged destabilization plot, a first degree felony case.
The Kaneshie district court deferred his bail hearing, while he remains in BNI custody until the next court hearing.
But his lawyer Martin Kpebu says the district court is incapable of granting him bail in such matters.
” The decision to take him to the district is unfair because that court does not have the power to grant him bail in treason matters. So if the BNI does not grant him bail themselves, the district court cannot. What the BNI is doing is unconstitutional and unfortunate,” he told Starr News.
Mr. Agordzor has been charged with abetment for treason by the state after he was invited for questioning on Monday. He is currently on detention at the BNI.
