An Accra High Court, will rule on the application for bail made by CEO of Advance Body Sculpt Centre Dr. Dominic Obeng-Andoh, who is standing trial for a murder charge, on July 27, 2018.

State attorney Ashong Okine opposed the application saying the Doctor may commit the offence again when granted bail because the medical facility is still in operation. Trial Judge Justice Kofi Dorgu set July 27 to deliver his ruling.

Though he was earlier granted bail by a circuit court on charges of operating an unlicensed medical facility and practicing medicine without a license, Obeng-Andoh still remains in the custody of police as his lawyers are yet to secure bail in the murder case.

He has pleaded not guilty to the charges over the death of Ms Stacy Offei Darko, a Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship Innovation Plan (NEIP).

Moving the application, Dr. Obeng-Andoh's lawyer Jonathan Dzaisu said the medical practitioner is unwell and needed urgent medical attention.

He added that the Doctor was willing to appear before the court anytime he is needed. He further stated that the late public officer was a regular patient of the facility since 2014, maintaining her last surgery at the facility to have been  succesful but unfortunatley, passed on during recovery.
