Godfred Dame argues Hanan Abdul-Wahab’s Buffer Stock charge sheet is defective, seeks dismissal

The legal team, led by former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame, told the court that the charges lack sufficient particulars to enable the accused person to clearly understand the allegations against him and properly prepare his defence.

In an application before the Specialised Court One, the defence argued that the prosecution had improperly combined separate transactions spanning several years into single charges, contrary to legal requirements.

On the basis of these arguments, the lawyers for Hanan Abdul-Wahab are asking the court to strike out the entire charge sheet, insisting that an accused person should not be required to stand trial on charges that do not meet the legal threshold.
