Lawyer of the late J. B. Danquah-Adu, Nana Obiri Boahen, is praying the court to hold the Pathologist who conducted an autopsy on the deceased for contempt.
This was after Dr. Lawrence Edusie failed to appear before an Accra District Court after a subpoena had been served on him.

The conduct of the Pathologist, Nana Obiri Boahen maintained, amounts to gross disrespect of the rule of law of Ghana.
Dr Lawrence Edusie who had claimed the autopsy report of the late MP was missing on Thursday February 22, 2018 dropped the autopsy report at the Court’s Registry but failed to appear in person.
The presiding judge, Justice Ms Gloria Laryea, during proceedings revealed that the court had received the sealed report and would forward it to the Criminal Investigations Department.

But Nana Obiri Boahene, lawyer for the deceased on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem Friday expressed shock at the conduct of Dr Edusei.
The livid lawyer noted that the pathologist ought to have appeared before the court after a subpoena had been served on him.
“The Doctor should have been in court today. If you are the President of Ghana and you are subpoenaed you have to appear in court [but] he is not in court. This is gross disrespect to the court”, Obiri Boaheng stated.
Nana Obiri Boahen said he has also written officially to the Ghana Medical Council about the conduct of the Pathologist but was yet to get a response.

Nana Obiri Boahen said he will officially file a writ in court for the pathologist to be penalized for his actions.
Meanwhile, the Accra District Court would on March 15, decide whether or not to cite Dr Edusei for contempt.
J.B Danquah Adu was murdered in his apartment in 2016 at Shiashie.
Two suspects, Daniel Asiedu and Vincent Bosso, were subsequently arrested and charged with murder following the incident.
Their pleas have not been taken and they have been remanded into Prison custody.
