Kwame Gyebi was arrested for predicting former President Mahama will drop dead on indece day

Court frees man who predicted Mahama's death on independence day
An Accra circuit court yesterday struck out the
case involving Kwame Gyebi, the man who reportedly
declared that former President Mahama would drop
dead during the 2016 Independence Day parade.

The court, presided over by Justice Aboagye
Tandoh, threw out the case for want of
prosecution.

When it was called for hearing yesterday, neither
the prosecutor, DSP George Amegah, nor the accused
person was in court for the trial to continue.

It will be recalled that the court in October last
year, issued a bench warrant for the arrest of
Kwame Gyebi.

The order followed the absence of Gyebi in court,
compelling the prosecution to request for a bench
warrant, which was granted.

The court had granted the accused bail in April
last year.

Gyebi, 33, had been charged with threat of death
and offensive conduct.

He is alleged to have made the comment at a
drinking spot at Dzworwulu in Accra.

He allegedly stated categorically that President
Mahama would die on Independence Day and asked
people to mark his words.

The matter was subsequently reported to the
Airport police and Gyebi was busted.
