One of the lawyers of the woman who was badaulted at the Shiashie branch of Midland Savings and Loans denied reports that the case was closed because the victim did not appear in court to testify.
Samson Lardy Anyenini revealed that Osafo Patience had not been informed of the number of court sitting days, which prevented her lawyer and her from running.
He revealed Saturday in JoyFM / MultiTV Newsfile's news badysis newspaper: "This is all wrong. The complainant has never been contacted nor informed of a date of appointment in court.
The police officer who beat a Savings and Loans Limited customer, Lance Corporal Frederick Amanor Godzi, aka Skalla, was recently released by the Accra Court of Appeal.
Godzi was charged with badaulting Ms. Osafo allegedly at the company's premises on July 19, 2018, when she was there to withdraw her money.
The court also released the three Midland Savings and Loans officials who were on trial for allegedly helping Godzi to attack Ms. Osafo.
Director of Operations Jocelyn Kukua-Fakah; Shirley Portia Anaman, Customer Service Manager, and a driver, Prince Ayensu.
The court chaired by Cecilia Dapaah Mireku released the accused in December 2018 due to lack of interest for the trial victim.
Ms. Osafo would not have appeared in court to testify and would not have used her responsibilities to badist the police in conducting her investigations.
But Mr Anyenini said that this was not the case, as Ms. Cinq has never been informed of the hearings, but Ms. Osafo has never been informed.
According to him, the complaint was therefore filed with the Attorney General so that the case is called into question and "agrees to appear in court".
He added that the Attorney General had asked to change anyone who would prosecute.
Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide, said, "We need to review the prosecution authorities again."
He wants these people to be "monitored and critically examined if, in fact, they have done anything to undermine the prosecution".
Mr. Baako asks the police to exercise judgment and determine who will be prosecuted, so it will not seem that they are doing a poor job to save one of theirs.
The veteran journalist does not want the case to be limited to a disciplinary measure internal to the police.
"We need to create a culture of deterrence so that people in uniform do not believe they can do justice to themselves," he said.
