A suspected Ghanaian robber, Ismael Akyene, faulted the continual involvement of the Attorney General in his trial by the police prosecutor.
Akyene, popularly known as Israel Nana Damascus, was caught with two others for robbing and raping their victims at gunpoint.
During his trial, the accused told the Kaneshie District Court that he did not understand why he was arraigned at a Circuit Court in Accra and now moved before the District Court.
Akyene said that the Attorney General had given its advice on his case docket and did not know why the Prosecution forwarded the docket again to the AG for advice.
When the accused was asked what the advice was, he said: The advice was that were to be charged with robbery and rape.
The District Court judge explained to the accused that because there were charges of rape, the Circuit Court did not have the jurisdiction to try the matter.
The matter has been adjourned to May 3.
