CHIEF GRANTED GH¢10,000 BAIL (MIRROR, PAGE 35, MAY 29, 2010)

From Joe Okyere, Cape Coast.

The self-styled chief of Ekumfi Ekumpoano who is being tried for alleged rape of his former fiancee’s daughter has been granted a GH¢10,000.00 bail with one surety to reappear on June 7.
Kofi Aboarabor, 48, was alleged to have raped the woman after sending her to buy him fish.
In granting bail the court, presided over by Mr Justice Beresford Acquah, ordered the accused to report twice daily to the police.
The accused who pleaded alibi on May 18 when he appeared for the second time is to take the investigator to Accra and trace the route of his whereabouts that day after his counsel could not prove his case of alibi at the previous sitting.
