The Accra Circuit Court has reportedly denied a request by Elorm Ababio, popularly known as Ama Governor, seeking permission to travel out of Ghana.
Ama Governor is one of the Democracy Hub demonstrators who were arrested and charged with various crimes, including unlawful assembly and unlawful damage contrary to the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), for allegedly engaging in unlawful activities during the demonstration.
According to a report by myjoyonline.com, during the trial on Friday, October 11, 2024, Ama Governor, through her lawyer, after requesting more time to complete the filing of the documents, placed an application for the court to grant her permission to travel abroad for an engagement between Sunday, October 13, 2024, and Friday, October 18, 2024.
The lawyer also asked the court to drop the charge of assault on a public officer against her client.
