The Supreme Court has awarded GH¢800,000 in compensation to a bar owner who was unjustly imprisoned for 19 years for a crime he did not commit. This landmark ruling brings a significant financial resolution to a protracted case of wrongful conviction.
The individual, whose identity has not been disclosed in relation to the court proceedings, spent nearly two decades incarcerated before his innocence was established. The substantial compensation reflects the immense personal and financial toll of his wrongful imprisonment.
