Also, “his Ghanaian and US passports are to be deposited at the court on Monday, 4 November.”

Elrad was recently discharged from the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC), where he had been hospitalised since the day of the crash. Following his discharge, a doctor’s letter indicated that, while he is fit to return home, he is not fit to be interrogated by the police.

The medical officer attending to the preacher’s son at the University of Ghana Hospital stated, “he is not fit to be interrogated by the police, even though he has been discharged from the hospital.”
