Defense Counsel for Donyo Kafui, alias Ezor, blacksmith, one of the ten persons accused of high treason, says Staff Sergeant Sule Kwadwo Awarf invited him (Ezor) to Accra to repair his guns and later took videos of him.
He told the Court that since Awarf had a prior knowledge that people from Alavanyo repaired guns for the military, he rather invited him to work for him and recorded him on the video to imply that he was manufacturing weapons for the alleged coup plot.
This was during cross-examination of Staff Sergeant Awarf, Prosecution's star witness, at the Accra High Court trying the ten accused of plotting to overthrow the Government.
“With the previous knowledge that it is the people from Alavanyo who repair guns, you invited A2 (Ezor) to come and work for you,” Mr. Victor Kwajoga Adawudu stated. However, the witness said “That's not true, I don't know Ezor anywhere. ”
It was upon invitation that A2 (Ezor) came and you introduced him to A1 (Dr. Mac Palm), the lawyer insisted but Awarf denied it.
He said after giving Ezor the guns (Revolver and another) to repair, you turned around and took videos to suggest that A2 (Ezor) was making guns. Awarf answered in the negative.
“You said you picked Ezor from the 37 bus station together with his tools to Alajo,” asked the lawyer, “Yes my lords, together with his tools and bag,” replied the witness.
