A state attorney, Rebecca Aryitey-Smith, collapsed on the morning of Monday February 6, 2017 in court.
Ms Aryitey-Smith, according to Accra News’ Ama Brako Ampofo, walked from her office at the Attorney-General’s Department to the law court complex due to the unavailability of a vehicle at the department to convey her.
Justice Charles Edward Ekow Baiden was sitting at Criminal Court 4 when the incident happened.
The sitting was immediately suspended as other lawyers in the court, including former NACOB boss Akrasi Sarpong, administered first aid to the state attorney until the paramedics stationed at the ground floor of the law court complex arrived at the scene. Madam Aryitey-smith was subsequently taken away in a wheelchair to the clinic at the court premises for further treatment.
