My Enemies Have Been Disgraced; Opuni After Charges Were Dropped
Former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), Dr Stephen Opuni, has described the State’s decision to drop the financial loss charge against him and another individual as a disgrace to his enemies.
Ms Enam Loh Mensah, a State Attorney, informed the Accra High Court, presided over by Justice Aboagye Tandoh, about the Attorney-General’s decision to withdraw the charges against the two accused persons.
Consequently, the State filed a notice of withdrawal in accordance with the AG’s instructions.
In an interview with the media after the hearing, Dr Opuni indicated that his God had vindicated him and saved him from the persecution of his detractors.
“All power and authority belong to the almighty God and not human beings and then I will add that the living God I serve has disgraced and cursed all my enemies, my persecutors and my destiny haters.”
Opuni and Seidu Agongo, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Agricult Ghana Limited were standing trial for 27 charges, including defrauding by false pretences, wilfully causing GH¢271 million financial loss to the state, money laundering and corruption by a public officer in contravention of the Public Procurement Act in the procurement of substandard fertilisers for COCOBOD.
