General News Court rules on Dr. Ali-Gabass' no case submission
MAY 7, 2015 LISTEN

An Accra Circuit Court will later this morning rule on the submission of no case filed by lawyers of senior medical officer at the Efia Nkwanta Regional Hospital, Dr. Sulley Ali-Gabass.

The medical officer is facing two counts of defiling a child under 16 years and having unnatural carnal knowledge, charges he has pleaded not guilty to.

He was arrested in October last year after Joy News investigations revealed his alleged sexual activities with the senior high school boy.

The state prosecution has called five witnesses, including Joy FM’s Manasseh Azure Awuni who broke the story.

But lawyers for the accused say Dr Ali-Gabass has no case to answer.

The case will be struck out if the court rules in their favour.

They will, however, be expected to open a defence if the court rejects the submission.
