Adolf Eshun, an 18-year-old student at Takoradi’s Bompeh SHS, who has been accused of conspiracy to commit murder in the case of the death of a Bolt driver who is also a navy officer since December 2021, has been released.
He was accused with the murder of LS Okyere Boateng, along with two other students.
On Monday, March 14, 2022, Mr. Eshun was released by a Sekondi District Court.
After the Attorney General absolved him of all accusations, the court presided over by Her Worship, Rosemary Edith Hayford, discharged suspect Adolf Eshun.
According to the Attorney General’s office’s counsel to the court, while Adolf on December 22nd ordered a Bolt for defendants Patrick Baidoo, 19 years, and Joseph Lord Ni Adjei Oninku, 17 years, who informed him they were stuck, he was not an accomplice to their crime.
As a result, the Attorney General exonerated him but charged the two others with murder and conspiracy to murder.
As a result, the case was postponed until April 11, 2022.
Following the court hearings, Adolf Eshun’s lawyer, Joseph Evans Abeka, stated that his client could be willing to testify if the police summon him later in the proceedings to help their case.
“Our client has never been involved, so the AG rightly advised that he shouldn’t be prosecuted. He should be discharged, so he has been discharged. If in future the police need him to come and testify, he will come.”
“He is a free man. He has never committed any offence. It is just an unfortunate situation that is why he was on remand,” the lawyer added.
