"The trial judge failed to adequately instruct the jury on the conspiracy offense during the closing argument, resulting in misdirection and the conviction of the second defendant/appellant." The conviction of the second appellant/accused is erroneous and not supported by the evidence presented at trial.
Asabke Alangdi is appealing her death sentence.

Asabke Alangdi, the second suspect believed to have conspired with Gregory Afoko in the murder of Adams Mahama, has filed a notice of appeal to overturn his conviction.

Alangdi, the Station Master of the Bolga-Kumasi-Ayamfuri Lorry Station, was sentenced to death by Her Ladyship Wood J.A. at the High Court (General Jurisdiction 11) on Thursday, April 27.

In the instance of the first defendant, Gregory Afoko, the court ordered a retrial after the jury found him not guilty on both counts of conspiracy and murder by a vote of 4 to 3.

However, days after Asabke's conviction, his attorney has filed an appeal with the Appeals Court, stating that the appellant is dissatisfied with the decision.

According to the Appeal statement seen by Citi News, his attorney, Andrew K. Vortia ESQ., claims the trial judge failed to adequately instruct the jury on the conspiracy offense during the closing argument, resulting in misdirection and their client's conviction.

"The trial judge failed to adequately instruct the jury on the conspiracy offense during the closing argument, resulting in misdirection and the conviction of the second defendant/appellant." The conviction of the second appellant/accused is erroneous and not supported by the evidence presented at trial.

"That the entire ruling/conviction rendered by the High Court on April 27, 2023 be overturned."

They also assert that Asabke Alangdi's conviction is erroneous and not supported by the evidence presented at trial.
