The Madina District Court has discharged Mam Yandey Joof, who was standing trial for the alleged murder of her boyfriend, Benett Agyekum Adomah, also known as Kikibee.
The court discharged the accused person, a hotelier and girlfriend of the deceased following advice from the Office of the Attorney General.
According to a GNA report, prosecution told the court that “advice from the Attorney General is ready and we have been asked to discharge the accused person.”
Joof was overcome with disbelief and wept uncontrollably upon hearing of her discharge.
Susana Nyarkotey, presiding over the court, granted the discharge of the accused in accordance with the advice of the Attorney General, dated February 8, 2024.
“They found no fault with you,” the Magistrate said.
After the judge discharged her, Mam Yandey Joof’s relatives escorted her into a waiting vehicle.
Prior to her discharge, Mam Yandey Joof had been on a GH₵200,000 bail and was facing murder charges in connection with the death of her boyfriend, Kikibee, who was the proprietor of Kikibee restaurant.
Kikibee is said to have behaved strangely in Joof’s apartment and threw things about haphazardly claiming some people were after his life.
Joof and a friend rushed him to the hospital, but he (Kikibee) allegedly died shortly on arrival.
