The lawyer for Mohammed Amadu Zakou, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) activist standing trial for allegedly publishing false news about the Vice President, has defended his client's social media post.
Lawyer Enoch Afoakwa, speaking on Accra-based Asempa FM, argued that his client's April 4, 2025, post-asking the Vice President to 'rest well', was well-intentioned and misunderstood.
This post came after the government announced that Professor had been advised to seek medical care in the United Kingdom.
Following the post, Zakou was arrested but has since been granted bail.
