An Accra High Court on Tuesday declined bail to Ben Lord Ababio, the self-acclaimed traditional ruler who allegedly gunned down a soldier over a disputed piece of land at Kasoa.
The Court presided over by Kizita Naa Koowa Quarshie after listening to submissions of both defence and state arguments, declined bail based on her discretion.
Ben Lord Ababio aka Nana Barima and one Nana Kofi Amo Gyekye aka Nana Fiifi, are standing trial for their involvement in the land dispute that allegedly led to the death of one Lance Corporal Michael Danso of the Ghana Armed Forces.
Accomplices of the accused, one Oteng and Salisu, are said to be at large.
