Samuel Atta Akyea broke his silence after he was sacked by Mildred Donkor, a third accused person in the GH¢49 million National Security trial.
Atta Akyea stated that his 32 years of legal experience have taught him never to force himself on a client.
Speaking to the media after he was dismissed in open court by Mildred Donkor, third accused, Atta Akyea stated, “I wasn’t too surprised, 32 years down the line, I will not force myself on a client.
I didn’t know what was going through her mind, and I was not surprised at all. We have not even started, so how can it be a fault? The case has not started, we have not done anything, it is the same Atta Akyea who secured…”, he added.
Meanwhile, Kwabena Adu Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, Mildred Donkor, and one other have been charged by the state for stealing, defrauding by false pretences, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit a crime.
