An Accra High Court will, on Monday, February 17, 2025, empanel a new jury for the trial of private legal practitioner and activist, Oliver Barker-Vormawor.
During court proceedings on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, his lawyers presented an excuse duty, indicating that their client was unwell, however, State Attorney, Esi Yankah, told the court that although she had received the document, she was yet to review it, according to a report by 3news.com.
She, therefore, requested the court to proceed with the hearing, noting that the defence had filed an application for a stay of proceedings, the report noted.
On December 12, 2024, the Supreme Court dismissed a motion filed by Barker-Vormawor's legal team which sought to quash the High Court's jurisdiction and constitutionality of the treason felony charge.
