    I am now convinced that the with withdrawal was just a ploy to prolong the proceedings. Appiah Kubi withdrew just before the ruling and returned immediately after the ruling. What a joke!!!!

    So all this tossing between appiah kubi / attah akyea was all part of the delay tactics. He knew he'll be jailed simply because he knew he was as guilty as hell. I don't think the appeal has got a leg to stand on.

  • Truth 2 weeks ago

    The lawyer is just not good. I am surprised Wotumi still trust him. If he leads the appeal he will lose again. He he just a weak lawyer

    So why exactly did Appiah-Kubi draw from Wontumi's case? It is very glaring that Appiah-Kubi's withdrawal was a calculated attempt to delay the case arbitrary and prevent the ruling on the case.
