Former Cocobod CEO, Dr Stephen Kwabena Opuni & businessman Seidu Agongo have been acquitted and discharged of all the criminal charges brought against them by the State.
It follows a request by the State that the charges be withdrawn.
A State Attorney, Enam Loh Mensah, told the court on Tuesday; "My Lord, pursuant to this, the Republic has filed notice of withdrawal." The two have over the past eight years been facing 27 charges in court, including allegedly defrauding the state by false pretences, wilfully causing financial loss to the state & contravening public procurement provisions.
They had consistently denied the charges.
