The Attorney-General’s Department is yet to give advice in the case of the two men standing trial at an Accra Circuit Court for allegedly setting ablaze various markets in the country.
This was made known to the trial judge, Francis Obiri when the matter was called yesterday for hearing.
The prosecutor, Chief Superintendent Duuti Tuaruka, told the court that, they were yet to receive the advice from the AG after a duplicate docket was forwarded to the department.
Chief Superintendent Tuaruka therefore prayed the court for an adjournment which the court obliged and adjourned the case to September 3.
The two, Yakubu Tahiru aka Rasta and Fatau Ibrahim are standing trial on two counts of conspiracy to commit crime and causing damage to markets within Accra metropolis.
They pleaded not guilty to the charges and have since been granted bail. The two out of five people accused by the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government of setting fires into various markets in the country were on June 25, put before an Accra District Court.
However, the magistrate declined jurisdiction.
