An Accra Circuit Court has granted a GH¢30,000.00 bail with three sureties to a security man who allegedly launched a sex-related verbal attack against Elizabeth Afoley Quaye, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Krowor Constituency.
Shadrack Mc Pog allegedly accused the MP of having sex with other men besides her husband, “You have been having sex with another man, notwithstanding that you are married,” he reportedly said to land him in the grips of the law.
In the Court presided over by Mrs Hellen Offei, Shadrack Mc Pog pleaded not guilty to “offensive conduct; with the intent to provoke breach of the peace or by which a breach of the peace is likely to be occasioned.”
Chief Inspector Emmanuel Ohene Agyei told the Court that one Mr Richard Adu a resident at Addogono in Nungua –Accra reported the loudmouthed Mc Pog.
He said the accused is a security man with the BOST and a resident of Martey-Bu, also at Nungua.
He said both the complainant and accused person are political activists and are on one political WhatsApp platform which also has other members.
The Prosecution said on February 2, this year, at about 1152 hours, the accused person posted on the platform a photograph of a man in addition to an audio which said that the MP for Krower Constituency, Nungua, and a married woman had been having sex with the said man.
The Prosecution said Mc Pog said this in both Twi and Ga languages to affirm the story, thus the complainant informed the MP and subsequently made a report to the police.
He said the accused was invited by the police and in his caution statement admitted the offence.
