The Government of Ghana has served notice not to pursue the case against the three former South African Policemen who have been deported for rendering illegal military training services to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The notice dated March 29, 2016 was filed at the Circuit Court’s registry on the same day at 09:41GMT.
“Take notice that the State intends that the proceedings against the accused persons Ahmed Shaik Hazis, Denver Dwayhe and Mlungiseli Jokani – shall not continue”, the notice which was signed by the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong in part read.
That means there are no criminal charges pending against the trio in Ghana.
Three retired South African police officers were arrested in the Central Region for allegedly engaging in activities the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) described as threat to national security.
They were arraigned before an Accra Circuit Court for trial but the Presiding Judge after hearing their side of the story through their lawyers and that of the BNI granted them bail.
However, before the court could supervise their release, the BNI whisked them away and later deported them to their home country on board a South African Airways flight number 210.
Their entry visas have since been revoked by the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS).
