Afoko admitted at Police Hospital; vomiting blood

Gregory Afoko has been admitted at the Police Hospital after two bouts of vomiting blood in the custody of the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI).

Mr Afoko, who is one of the suspects standing trial for the murder of the former Upper East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Adams Mahama, continue to be held in the custody despite being granted bail by a court several months ago.

This portal has gathered that he was taken to the facility by one Chief Inspector Nkrumah and is currently on admission at the male ward of the facility.

Family of the suspect had earlier raised concerns over a ploy by some unseen hands to poison him in the custody of the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI).

“The family is extremely worried and believes that the attempt to treat Gregory for an alleged infection they claim to have detected from the blood sample they took is a pretext to poison him.

“What is the motive for treating him for this alleged infection when all they have to do is obey the court order, release him to his family who can get the best healthcare available for him, if he is indeed sick.

The Appeals Court on April 15, 2019 threw out a suit filed by the Attorney General’s Department for a stay of execution in respect of bail granted the suspect by an Accra High Court.
