An Accra High Court has placed an injunction preventing the Special Prosecutor from arresting secretary of the defunct Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), Charles Bissue.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor on Tuesday, June 13, declared Charles Bissue wanted after failing to respond to calls from the Special Prosecutor to answer questions regarding the ongoing investigation into suspected corruption within the dissolved IMCIM.
Lawyers of Charles Bissue secured the order following an application for Interim Injunction restraining the Office of the Special Prosecutor or its agents from executing the arrest warrant.
The Court presided by Justice Nicholas Abodakpi also stopped the Special Prosecutor from applying for further arrest warrant pending the determination of the substantive matter and also publishing notices indicating the applicant to be wanted.
The order lasts for 10 days while the case has been adjourned to 22nd June 2023.
