The soldier, Mr Gershon Akpa, a weapons mechanic, stood accused of planning to overthrow the government with ten other people.
The Court presided over by Mrs Eleanor Kakra Barnes-Botchway discharged the Akpa and struck-out the charges against him.
Ms Hilda Craig, a Senior State Attorney, who announced this at the Court, said, he had been replaced with one Johannes Zikpi of the Signal Unit of the Ghana Armed Forces.
The A-G, therefore, substituted the old charge sheet with a Bill of Indictment (BI) filed on February 19, 2020. The Prosecution then prayed the Court to withdraw the charge sheet filed before it on February 12, in respect of Akpa.
