The third accused person Richard Jakpa, involved in the ongoing ambulance case trial, made startling revelations on Thursday, June 27, alleging that he was instructed by Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame to obtain a fake medical excuse despite being in good health.
During a heated cross-examination led by Deputy Attorney-General Alfred Tuah Yeboah, Jakpa asserted that the AG pressured him to secure the false medical excuse to avoid appearing in court. Jakpa claimed that the AG believed his absence would benefit the case’s strategy.
Jakpa, maintaining his composure in court, detailed the circumstances surrounding the AG’s alleged request for the fake medical excuse. He described feeling conflicted by the AG’s insistence, as he was physically capable of attending court sessions.

His testimony has sparked calls for further investigation into the actions and motivations of the Attorney General in handling the case.
In response to Jakpa’s claims, the prosecution vehemently denied any wrongdoing, categorically stating that no instructions were given to obtain a fake medical excuse. The AG’s office characterized Jakpa’s allegations as an attempt to divert attention from the core issues of the trial and undermine the prosecution’s integrity.
The prosecution reiterated its commitment to upholding a fair and transparent legal process, dismissing Jakpa’s accusations of coercion or misconduct.
