Ayittey keeps cameramen in suspense

Hanny Sherry Ayittey, former boss of GIHOC Distilleries who is being tried with three others at an Accra Fast Track Court (FTC) on Tuesday created a dramatic scene when she kept two cameramen who wanted to take shots of her, in suspense for one and a half hours after proceedings.

The cameramen, one from Graphic and the other from Ghanaian Times, kept waiting downstairs after the sitting, whiles Ayittey, dressed in white, relaxed in the courtroom to prevent them from achieving their aim.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the Times cameraman climbed upstairs, where he managed to take one shot of Ayittey. She was coming down, but decided to retreat on seeing the cameraman. However, the shot had already been taken.

Ayittey outwitted the Graphic cameraman who waited patiently at the court premises to snap her but before be became aware, she had been whisked away in a waiting vehicle.
