Legal counsel for Kwabena Adu-Boahene, Atta Akyea, has taken a strong stance against the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO), accusing the agency of imposing unjust bail conditions and violating his client’s constitutional rights.
In an exclusive interview with Bernice Abu-Baidoo on GHOne TV, Samuel Atta Akyea questioned the rationale behind EOCO’s actions, arguing that Adu-Boahene’s conduct does not align with that of someone evading justice.
“If my client was guilty, would he voluntarily leave Ghana and return through Kotoka? He even waited in the airport lounge for his luggage. Does that sound like someone trying to evade justice?” he asked.
Atta Akyea also raised concerns about his inability to consult privately with Adu-Boahene during legal proceedings. He described EOCO officials’ actions as a direct breach of his client’s constitutional rights.
“I was denied the opportunity to consult with my client in private. Instead, EOCO officials insisted on listening to and even recording our conversations. That is a clear breach of his constitutional rights,” he lamented.
Expressing further discontent with the process, the legal expert vowed to challenge what he described as oppressive conditions imposed on his client.
“Justice should not be manipulated. My client is entitled to fair treatment under the law, and we will challenge these oppressive conditions in court,” he asserted.
