Scores of supporters besieged the Accra High Court Monday morning for the trial of former COCOBOD Chief Executive Officer, Dr Stephen Kwabena Opuni, who has been charged with causing financial loss to the state.
The entrance of Land Court 11, where the case is being held, was a scene of chaos, as plenty supporters of the former COCOBOD boss, tried to force their way into the courtroom.
Some of the supporters lost their cool after the police cleared them from the courtroom with the excuse that they were about to conduct security checks.
The police refusal to allow some of them to enter the courtroom, led to a scuffle outside the courtroom.
Peace, however, prevailed with the police beefing up security inside and outside the courtroom.
Although, the case was expected to be called at 12pm, the courtroom was full as of 10am, with many people standing outside.
Meanwhile many top officials of the previous administration made their way to the courtroom.
They include former Chief of Staff; Mr Julius Debrah, former Attorney- General; Mrs Marietta Brew Appiah-Opong, former Information Minister; Mr Felix Kwakye -Ofosu, former Deputy Minister of Transport; Ms Joyce Bawa Mogtari and former Fisheries Minister; Ms Sherry Ayitey.
Others are the former Minister of Tourism; Mrs Elizabeth Ofosu Agyare, National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Kofi Adams among other officials

Mad-ness, indeed they have nothing doing that's why they are following that bea-st, if they are wise they should do background check Opuni was one of the reasons why they lost the election, if they are wise they should rather applaud the ruling government for taking him through process. In fact if Opuni prevail i will be convinced enough that there is no law in this Country.
like the mourners carrying a casket to a graveyard,they will soon leave you alone and it will be you and you alone in languishing in jail.
These are the real nation wreckers and it shows clearly that opuni shared the monies with them in the nam of CREATEE LUT N SHARE or else no one would have followed him. Devil will punish all in solidarity with opuni period
Why would NDC sacrifice the intergrity of the whole party for just one man. What do they do if he is found guilty? Then the whole party is also perceived as guilty of the same offence. ANC just issued a statement that they are not backing Jacob Zuma is his court case as a party. Now that is smart thinking. Must NDC disrupt all the time? Just hope they will grow smart and enrich Ghana politics. At the moment, they are behaving like a bunch of school kids.
NDC sacrifice Abuga Pele because of elections and now supporting Opuni.... NDC planned to pardon Abuga Pele if they were to win the 2016 election....
the police shd have just arrested all of them bcos they are all culprits. they are just playing mind games with Opuni, so he doesnt mention their names. its just mind games. my only problem is their stup1>d followers who knows nothing abt these monies yet came out there to f000>l themselves whilst they could have used that time to do something for their lives. if it is not ***barred word***>ty then what else can it be. they come and tell u to get into the bus and follow them to the court and f000lish?ly did. well ndc always knows the people to target when it comes to this kind of things. no wonder they are against the free shs bcos they are doomed if at least 40% of the population is educated.
CROWDED AT THE COURTROOM OR NOT CROWDED, IT WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL ONLY HAVE TO VINDICATE THEMSELVES. FORCE CAN NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NDC MEMBERS, YOU KEEP ON BLOFING OVER ABUGA PELE AND CO CASE THAT IT WAS YOUR GOVERNMENT WHO DRUG THEM TO COURT FOR FIGHTING CORRUPTION SAKE AND NOW WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING THIS CURRENT CASE WITH DR STEPHEN OPUNI AND CO TO COURT IF YOU CLAIM YOU ARE A CORRUPTION FIGHTER GOVERNMENT. IT IS A SHAME TO SOME OF THE OFFICIALS AND FORMER MINISTERS WHO FOLLOWS TO THE COURT. GHANA FIRST AND NOT THEIR SELFISH INDIVIDUAL INTEREST. MY TAKE!!!
They are all th1evies.
AFTER R0BB1NG THE NATION THESE BUNCH OF TH1EFS ARE NOT EVEN ASHAMED OF THEIR S4TANIC ACTS.
Can the police save us time by arresting these guys in a group and proffering charges on them . it will save us gas money in arresting them individually cos they will all be tried anyway.
