The taxi driver and former priest who allegedly confessed on television Felix Ansah has been remanded in Police custody by an Accra Circuit court.
The suspect 35, allegedly confessed on Onua TV that he had killed several persons, including a pregnant woman for ritual purposes.
He appeared before the court today, Monday, September 13, 2021, presided over by Ms Rosemond Baah Tosu, and pleaded not guilty to the charge of publication of false news.
His lawyer, Mr Theophilus Donkor, in his application for bail, told the court that the comments by his clients were associated with the spiritual realm.
According to the lawyer, “If anything at all, it is Onua TV that made the publication and not the accused person”.
Prosecutor, Chief Inspector Godfred Asideu Bampoe, who held the brief for Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sylvester Asare, opposed the bail application arguing that the suspect must be remanded to enable the police complete its investigation.
The presiding judge, remanded the accused person to re-appear on September 16, this year.
He told the court that after the confession from the accused, the Police arrested him.
Preliminary investigation revealed that accused is a taxi driver and resides at Wejia, Accra.
He added that “additionally, the accused person also stated that he buried a pregnant woman alive at Ashiaman to perform sacrifice for Alfred Agbesi, the former MP for Ashaiman.”
