A CAPE Coast Circuit Court has struck out the case of assault filed by the NDC Member of Parliament (MP) for Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA), Dr J.S. Annan, against the former Central Regional Minister, Nana Ato Arthur.
Dr Annan, who is also a Deputy Minister of Education, has formally sent a letter to the court to discontinue the case for an out of court settlement.
The court presided over by Mr Beresford Acquah consequently struck out the case and awarded no cost.
It would be recalled that prior to last December’s presidential and parliamentary elections, Dr Annan accused Nana Ato Arthur of assaulting him during a confrontation over voters’ transfer at the premises of the KEEA’s offices of the Electoral Commission.
Dr Annan who was not in court, did not assign any reason for his action and the court had no objection than to grant his request and subsequently struck out the case.
When the Daily Graphic contacted Nana Ato Arthur after the court sitting, he said he had accepted the court’s ruling.
