The Motor and Traffic Court on Monday adjourned to December 27, the case involving Nana Ekua Amoah, popularly known as Mzbel, a musician, and two others who allegedly assaulted and obstructed a police officer from executing his duty.
This was because the sitting judge, Alberta Amponsah was on sick leave and therefore a new date was fixed for the case. All the three accused persons: Mzbel, Maxwell Mensah, a driver, and Emmanuel Edem Nordzor, a student were present and are currently on bail.
They have however denied the charges levelled against them. They were each granted bail in the sum of GH¢2,000 with a surety. Mzbel is being held for assaulting a police officer and obstructing him from executing his lawful duty.
Mensah is charged with unauthorized parking, causing road obstruction, resisting lawful arrest and assaulting a police officer.
Nordzor is charged with driving without a license and obstructing a police officer from executing his duty.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Chief Inspector Dora Seiwaa, had told the court that at about 12. 30 hours on June 4, the three accused persons were driving in a Mitsubishi 4×4 vehicle with registration number GR 9470-11 on the Kinbu Road.
Chief Inspector Seiwaa said Mensah parked the vehicle on the shoulder of the road at Tudu while Nordzor and Mzbel sat in the vehicle.
She said Mensah’s act impeded the flow of traffic and the Policeman on duty traced the source of the blockade to the vehicle being driven by Mensah. They found Nordzor sitting behind the steering wheel with the engine running.
