Inconsistencies in documentation and processes were also brought to light during the hearings. Ayitey clarified, saying, “In this case, this order was not to me; rather, it was addressed through our legal department to the Regional Commander, who then sent it to the CTU commander for necessary action,” while admitting regular police procedures for documenting acts in the station diary.
Counsel suggested that Ayitey submitted false documents. He refuted this claim by saying, “My lord, I tendered what I have or know about.” He did, however, acknowledge that more information could only be provided by the police, who were really carrying out the directive.
Counsel for Adablah asked that the relevant CTU officers be subpoenaed in order to provide clarification on the execution procedure in the interest of justice. The request was approved by Presiding Judge Justice John Bosco Nabarese, who also mandated that the Regional CTU officers show up on May 7, 2024, for additional cross-examination.
