Ex-Ivorian minister rearrested in Ghana

Lawyer for ex-Ivorian cabinet minister; Justin Katinan Kone, is deeply disturbed by the decision of the police to re-arrest his client.

Mr. Kone was granted bail on Wednesday after prosecutors failed to start extradition proceedings against him as earlier ordered by the court.

The man who is wanted in his country for war crimes during post election violence there was first arrested by Ghanaian police under an extradition warrant.

His Lawyer, Patrick Sogbojor, who confirmed his arrest Friday evening, told Joy News he is shocked at the development because it is in clear breach of the orders of the court.
