Convenor of #FixThecountry Barker H. Vogues has disclosed that it is becoming difficult to get a lawyer to represent the brother of late Ibrahim Mohammed aka Kaaka who has been accused of killing his brother.
The lawyer in a list on Facebook said he has personally spoken to 10 lawyers who have refused to help over the fear of political reprisals.
The Police have insisted that Kaaka was allegedly killed by his brother, Iddi Mohammed.
The police explained that Kaaka was killed by his brother and this was revealed by a woman who is said to be an eyewitness to the attack.
He is currently in Police custody facing trail.
But Barker Vogues says he is getting a lawyer to represent him.
“I am putting this out there, because I am hoping that members of the Profession take this Appeal. Not because I am interested in criticising the profession. People have a right to be worried about their personality safety.”

For the past two weeks, I have been assisting the Kaaka family try to help them find a lawyer in Kumasi for the family to represent their brother who has been arrested.
We have spoken to nearly 10 lawyers. Almost all of them have refused to take the case up because of fear of political reprisals.
I am putting this out there, because I am hoping that members of the Profession take this Appeal. Not because I am interested in criticising the profession. People have a right to be worried about their personality safety.
This is a humanitarian appeal.
Because, we Lawyers have an ethical responsibility here. Our « hippocratic » is that every human being, irrespective of the crime they have been accused; deserve legal respresentation. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
reach out if you can help!
Shalom!
