NDC gurus signs petition to free Montie 3

The petition book was launched at the premises of pro-government radio station Radio Gold and the Freedom Centre on Thursday.

 

It is to collect signatures of Ghanaians sympathetic to RAP's course of freeing the sentenced trio.

Salifu Maase, Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn were sentenced to four month imprisonment by the Supreme Court on Wednesday following contempt proceedings against them.

On Thursday afternoon, irate supporters of the NDC gathered in front of the party's headquarters in Accra to press home their demand for the release of the trio who were sentenced to four month imprisonment by the Supreme Court.

They implored the president to invoke Article 72 of the Constitution.

Article  72(1) of the 1992 constitution says  that the President may in consultation with the Council of State grant a person convicted of an offence a pardon either free or subject to lawful conditions.

A Deputy Minister of Education in charge of Tertiary Education, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa also signed the petition to show his support for a presidential pardon to be granted to the Montie trio.

The Deputy Minister of Energy and Petroleum, Benjamin Dagadu, has also signed the petition calling for the release of the three.
