THE BIBINI royal family of Oblogo has threatened to seek justice in whatever manner it deemed fit if the Attorney General failed to deliver justice to the family and the memory of the late Chief of Oblogo, Nii Kweku Bibini III.
The family said it suspected foul play in the manner in which all the alleged murderers of the late chief were being granted bail one after the other in the name of human rights when they were alleged to be the perpetrators of the act.
They warned that if the state did not make sure the chief’s murderers were punished then they would advise themselves.
The family has therefore called on the Attorney General to make sure those who took part in the killing of Nii Bibini faced the full rigors of the law.
The late chief of Oblogo, a farming community in the Ga South municipality of the Greater Accra region was killed in a bloody attack by a rival group at his palace in Oblogo on April 8.
After the incident, 14 suspects were arrested and prosecuted at the High Court of Justice (Human Rights Division), Accra.
The State Attorney after scrutinizing the facts and the case docket was of the view that the court could grant bail to 11 applicants leaving behind three accused persons. Subsequently, the 11 were granted bail.
However a spokesperson for the Binini family who pleaded anonymity told DAILY GUIDE, he suspected foul play because Abdul Rauf, one of three accused persons which the court said should not be granted bail had been released.
He blamed State Attorney, Mr. Sefakor who he said was working against the family for this and therefore called on the Attorney General to drop him and let another lawyer take over the case.
Citing an instance to back his claim, he said the family was notified to appear in court on October 23 but the suspects were taken to court on Friday, October 12 without prior notice to them and that was when Rauf was granted bail.
The spokesperson said the CID which was handling the case told him he was not informed by the state prosecutor about the hearing of the case in court last Friday.
He accused the state prosecutor of playing all manner of tricks on the family with the clear intention of preventing the family from being granted justice.
The spokesperson said he believed the state prosecutor had taken bribes to the detriment of the rule of law and justice but said his family would remain resolute in the face of such orchestrations by their detractors.
The spokesperson insisted the perpetrators of the crime must be severely punished to serve as deterrent to others and avoid a situation like the Dagbon chieftaincy crisis happening in Oblogo saying justice delayed was justice denied.
