Dr. Wilberforce Nkrumah Aggrey, a KNUST lecturer, has been rearrested after he was discharged by the Asokwa District Court.
The lecturer is standing trial for the alleged kidnap of his wife; a staff of the Lands Commission.
Dr. Wilberforce Nkrumah Aggrey was, however, rearrested soon after gaining his freedom.
He has been in police custody since his arrest on October 6, 2021, for his alleged involvement in the disappearance of his wife, Rhodaline Amoah-Darko.
The 32-year-old Rhodaline, a Senior Lands Administrative Officer, has been missing since August 30, 2021.
Preliminary police investigations linked Dr. Aggrey of the Petroleum Department of KNUST to an authored kidnapping note. He is also accused of using his wife’s phone to distribute text messages from a spot near his KNUST campus home.
For the first time in several months, he was given some reprieve as he gained freedom to move around without the usual handcuffs and police guard.
But his discharge by the court was short-lived, as police officers stationed at the court premises re-arrested and took him into custody.
