Mam Yandey Joof, who stood trial for the death of Benett Agyekum Adomah, also known as Kikibees, has been discharged by the Madina District Court.
Joof, a hotelier and the girlfriend of the deceased, as well as the owner of Kikibees Restaurant, was discharged based on the advice of the Office of the Attorney General.
Prosecution told the court that “the advice from the Attorney General is ready, and we have been asked to discharge the accused person.”
Joof, in a state of disbelief, expressed her emotions with a soft “aww” as she wiped her tears.
Presiding over the court, Susana Nyarkotey announced that based on the advice from the Attorney General dated February 8, 2024, the accused is hereby discharged.
“They found no fault with you,” the Magistrate said.
Mam Yandey Joof, currently on GHC200,000 bail, wept uncontrollably as her relatives hurriedly ushered her into a waiting vehicle.
She had been facing a charge of murder in connection with the death of her boyfriend, Kikibee, the owner of Kikibee restaurant.
Kikibee reportedly exhibited strange behavior at Joof’s apartment. She and a friend rushed him to the hospital, but Kikibee allegedly died shortly thereafter.
