Lawyers for Freddie Blay are taking legal action to contest a court’s decision. Blay, who is the former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, was ordered to be held by police.
The remand relates to a dispute over land located at Kitase in the Eastern Region. The terms of the dispute were not fully detailed in the initial report.
Blay’s legal team announced their intention to file an appeal. This appeal will be lodged at the Koforidua High Court.
The filing is planned for March 17. This is the date set by the lawyers to challenge the existing remand order.
The court’s decision places Blay in police custody while the legal processes continue. His lawyers aim to have this order overturned.
Further details about the land dispute and the proceedings are expected as the case progresses through the appellate court.
