Leading activists of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are said to be recruiting thugs at Bukom, New Town, Adabraka and Sabon Zongo to disrupt proceedings at the court on Friday 21st February when judgement is expected to be passed on the Quality Grain trial.

Six officials of the erstwhile NDC are standing trial at an Accra Fast Track court for causing financial loss to the state.

This follows the discovery after a forensic audit that the state had been raped in the sum of about $20 million by an alleged American Rice Producer, Juliet Cotton. Miss Cotton who is presently serving a jail term following her conviction for defrauding a poor African state could not produce even a bag of rice after she has lured the government of Ghana to guarantee over $20 million for a rice project.

On Friday, the Fast Track Court presided over by Justice Kwame Afreh, a Supreme Court Judge sitting as an additional High Court judge will deliver judgement in the long awaited trial.

According to a source close to the NDC, the leadership of the party has expressed fears that those standing trial could be sentenced to imprisonment and to forestall their conviction, left wing leaders were tasked o mobilize the thugs to storm the court and disrupt its proceedings.

Police have intercepted several destabilization plots by the NDC during and after the Friday ruling.
