A Judge at an Accra Central Magistrate Court, Worlanyo Kotoku, presiding over the case involving Gregory Afoko, who is accused of murdering the Upper East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mahama Adam, was yesterday compelled to end proceedings because of consistent heat in the room.
The marathon legal arguments, which took proceedings to almost 3:00 p.m., made the judge confess that the courtroom was hot, and that he had to adjourn the hearing.
He confessed; �I am adjourning because of heat and time is going�, and subsequently adjourned the case to Tuesday March 24, 2016 at 11:00 a.m.
Gregory was brought in after 1:00 p.m., but when the case was called, the Chief State Attorney was nowhere to be found, which compelled the court to step down the case for some time.
