Counsel for the 4th accused person pleaded with the court that his client has a six-year-old son and therefore could not have been involved in the said crime.
Nancy Dentaah, the 4th accused, is an entrepreneur who is believed to have aided the other suspects to break away from jail.
Nancy’s counsel further pleaded with the court to grant her bail, since her son badly needs the presence of his mother.
