A High Court has dismissed an application by Samuel Ofosu Ampofo asking it to dismiss out the charges brought against him.

The National Democratic Congress Chairman is facing charges of conspiracy to cause harm and assault on a public officer.

The lawyers of Mr. Ofosu Ampofo in their application prayed the court to strike out the charge of assault on a public officer brought against their client who is also facing another charge of conspiracy to cause harm.

According to them, the charge was defective because the prosecution failed to provide particulars on it. But the judge in his ruling said the charges are grounded in law hence not fatal. He then adjourned the case to the 8th of July for full trial to begin.
