The Accra Circuit Court has adjourned the stabbing case involving Braimah Isaac Kamoko, a Ghanaian professional boxer known as ‘Bukom Banku,’ and his son, Mustapha Kamoko, until March 29.
Mrs. Justice Adelaide Abui Kedey, a High Court Judge sitting with additional responsibility as a Circuit Court Judge, instructed the prosecutors to file their disclosure requirements for the Case Management Conference when the Court returned to the house on Monday.
Banku is accused of assisting and abetting one Prosper Quaye in causing harm to one Ismael Quaye in Bukom, Greater Accra Region. Bukom Banku is facing a charge of aiding and abetting crime.
Bukom Banku‘s son, Mustapha Kamoko, is also facing charges of causing damage.
Bukom Banku, 50, and his son Mustapha Kamoko have pleaded not guilty and are on GHS50,000 bail each.
The case for the prosecution is that the complainant, Mr. Ishmael Neequaye, is a footballer residing at Bukom, while the accused persons (Bukom Banku and his son) are boxers, and Prosper Quaye is unemployed.
The prosecution said the accused persons were residents of Bukom, near Jamestown.
It said that on November 25, 2022, at about 1730 hours, the complainant was sleeping in his room when he heard an unusual noise around his house.
The prosecution said the complainant woke up and saw the accused persons seriously attacking some of his friends, including Julius Tagoe, a witness in the case.
It said the complainant approached them and calmed the situation, and that Bukom Banku, on seeing the complainant, broke a bottle and gave it to Mustapha to inflict wounds on him.
The prosecution told the court that Mustapha inflicted a deep wound on the abdomen of the complainant, who bled profusely.
It said Prosper also took a stone and hit a 32-inch television belonging to Tagoe.
The prosecution said the complainant was rushed to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, where he was admitted.
It said the accused persons escaped arrest, necessitating the issuance of criminal summons to have them appear in court.
