The Human Rights Court on Thursday (7 November) dismissed the final in a series of suits filed by Charles Bissue aimed at preventing the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) from arresting, investigating, or charging him.
Bissue had previously obtained a 10-day ex parte injunction restraining the OSP from arresting him, alleging that the warrant issued was unlawfully procured and intended to harass him.
He also sought a declaration that a notice marking him as wanted was void.
In its judgment, the Court found Bissue’s claims entirely unfounded, stating there was no evidence to support his allegations. The central question was whether an arrest warrant had indeed been issued by the Kaneshie District Court for OSP against Bissue.
The Court ruled that it was Bissue’s responsibility to provide proof of such a warrant, which he failed to do.
The Judge concluded that no warrant had been issued and dismissed the claim as a figment of the imagination of Bissue and awarded costs of GHC10,000 against him.
This ruling clears the path for the OSP to continue its investigations into Bissue’s involvement with the defunct Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM) and in another separate case pursue charges related to allegations of corruption as depicted in the Tiger Eye P.I. documentary Galamsey Fraud Part 1.
