Coup plotters’ case: I knew I’d be acquitted – ACP Agordzo
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Dr. Benjamin Agordzo says he knew he would be acquitted by the court since the initiation of the legal action against him in the coup plotter’s case.
The High Court in Accra convicted six of the coup plotters on counts of conspiracy to commit high treason and committing high treason.
The court, however, acquitted ACP Agordzo, Colonel Samuel Kodzo Gameli, and one other junior military officer, Corporal Seidu Abubakar.
The six convicted for plotting a coup have been sentenced to death by hanging.
Singing Ntokozo Mbambo’s “Jehovah Is Your Name,” joyful ACP Agordzo and his family waved in praise to God for being acquitted.
