Enoch Afoakwa, the lawyer representing detained nurse Salomey Baffoe, has revealed that access to his client is limited while she remains in custody. Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Afoakwa explained that he can only communicate with Baffoe from the counter, as she is kept in a cell. The lawyer stated that Baffoe has repeatedly complained about feeling unwell while in custody.
When Baffoe appeared in court, she was visibly ill and dizzy, prompting the judge to bring a swivel chair for her, according to Afoakwa. Despite pleading not guilty to the charges against her, Afoakwa expressed the belief that the court should have taken her health into account when issuing the remand order, as per the legal principle that a person is innocent until proven guilty.
He emphasized that the court and the government would be held accountable if Baffoe's condition worsened while in custody.
