An Accra High Court has sentenced to death Asabke Alandgi, one of two persons accused of the murder of Adams Mahama, a former Upper East Regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Pulse reported on 28 April 2023.
This was after a seven-member jury had unanimously returned a verdict of guilty on him on the charge of conspiracy to murder.
Mahama was murdered on 25 May 2015.
The court presided over by Justice Merley Wood, therefore, convicted Alandgi on the charge of conspiracy to murder.
However, on the charge of murder, the jury returned a 4-3 decision.
The Court said the President of the Republic shall direct where his body would be laid after he had been hanged.
In the case of the second suspect, Gregory Afoko, the court ordered his re-trial.
This is because the jury returned a 4-3 decision both on the charge of murder and conspiracy to murder. 
Under the law, in cases where the decision of the jury is hung, the Court may order a re-trial and the accused could be granted bail or remanded by the Court.
The Court, consequently, remanded Afoko into lawful custody.
