A lawyer has questioned why his client, Freddie Blay, was ordered to be kept in custody. Blay is a former chairman of the New Patriotic Party. He is involved in a dispute about a demolition at Kitase.
The lawyer, Gregory Asiedu, stated that the court process appears to have been misused. He argued this point before the Akropong Circuit Court.
Asiedu also said that Freddie Blay is currently sick. He is staying at his home. This means he is not planning to run away from the country.
The court, however, decided to remand Blay. This decision was made concerning his alleged role in the demolition issue. Details of the dispute were not fully provided.
The lawyer's statement suggests Blay should not have been remanded. He believes Blay poses no risk of escaping justice.
The specific charges against Blay related to the demolition are not detailed in the public record.
Further court proceedings will determine the next steps in this case.
The court's decision to remand Blay has been challenged by his legal representative.
