Gregory Asiedu, the lawyer for Freddie Blay, stated that his client is not a flight risk. Blay, the former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, is facing a legal challenge.
The Akropong Circuit Court recently remanded Blay. This action is related to an alleged involvement in a demolition dispute in Kitase.
Asiedu questioned the basis for his client's remand. He emphasized that Blay has been experiencing illness.
The lawyer also raised concerns about an alleged abuse of the court process.
Details of the demolition dispute itself have not been fully disclosed.
The court's decision means Blay will remain in custody pending further legal proceedings.
Further hearings are expected to clarify the charges and evidence.
