Friends of missing Lands Commission staff besiege Asokwa District Court ahead of hearing

A group calling itself Friends of Rhoda have besieged the Asokwa District Court in Kumasi ahead of the hearing of a case in which a lecturer at KNUST is accused of kidnapping his wife.

Dr Wilberforce Aggrey has been standing trial over the disappearance of his wife, Rhodaline Amoah-Darko, staff at the Lands Commission.

Since September, Dr Aggrey, who has been in police custody, was last week denied bail by a Kumasi High Court after his lawyers applied for bail.

The police had earlier secured a court order for psychiatric examination after he was initially denied bail by the Asokwa District Court.
