Dr. Obeng-Andoh was slapped with these charges last week after he had been remanded by the Accra Central District Court for the alleged murder of Ms Stacy Offei Darko, a Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship Innovation Plan (NEIP).

He however could not show up at the circuit court for his plea to be taken with his lawyers explaining he was unwell.

The court, presided over by Mrs Harriet Jane Akwele Quaye ordered that the Ridge Hospital produces Dr. Obeng-Addo in court. The Doctor was therefore in court today accompanied by a Physician as he was asked to state his plea.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges levelled against him.

The court granted him bail to the tune 50,000 cedis with two sureties.

Joy News’ Joseph Ackah-Blay reports that, a visibly unwell Dr. Obeng-Addo had to be aided by three persons to walk as he made his way out of the court room.

The case has been adjourned to July 6.

According to the facts of the case, in July 2015, investigations by the Medical and Dental Council (MDC) revealed that Dr Obeng-Andoh had failed to renew his annual registration to practice since 2013.
The MDC, after further investigations, reported the matter to the police, and on December 20, 2016 the police went to the Obengfo Hospital to arrest Dr Obeng-Andoh.
“The police met him in the process of performing certain medical procedures on someone. Further investigations revealed that Dr Obeng-Andoh also failed to license his health facility, as required by law,” the facts indicated.
