The Cape Coast Circuit Court has upheld a submission of no case and has subsequently acquitted and discharged immediately past Central Regional Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress, Kwesi Dawood. Mr Kwesi Dawood was standing trial in a case of incest, defilement, assault and abetment of abortion trial with a young girl alleged to be his daughter.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, 23rd January 2024, the former Central Region NDC Communications Officer noted “This is to express my deepest appreciation and utmost gratitude to you and everyone for your support from day one to today” of the trial.
Mr. Dawood’s statement further adds “By the infinite grace of God coupled with your prayers, support and assistance, I have been vindicated by the Court as the allegations made against me in 2021 by those political hirelings, was nothing but wicked and malicious fabrications with no iota of truth in them”.
The statement continues that in the coming days, further action after thorough consultations with his Legal Team, Spiritual Fathers and his Family would duly be communicated to the public.
Below is the full statement:
NDC’s KWESI DAWOOD IS INNOCENT, COURT
23rd January, 2024
This is to express my deepest appreciation and utmost gratitude to you and everyone for your support from day one to today.
By the infinite grace of God coupled with your prayers, support and assistance, I have been vindicated by the Court as the allegations made against me in 2021 by those political hirelings, were nothing but wicked and malicious fabrications with no iota of truth in them.
After almost three (3) years of serious criminal trial with the State fervently fighting for my accusers with notched State Attorneys, Senior Prosecutors and highly experienced Investigators, I worked with my Lawyers through the justice system and my innocence has been established unequivocally.
In the coming days, my next line of action will be communicated to all after deliberations with my Legal Team, Spiritual Fathers and my Family. It must be noted once again that the girl in question is not my child & her mother too is not my wife or ex-wife or girlfriend or ex-girlfriend.
To all Comrades, friends and family who reached out to show concern and offered support throughout, I am grateful for your encouragement and assistance. The truth was not buried forever; it has sprung forth like a seed in the fullness of time.
Signed,
Ɔwɛnfoba Kwesi Da-Wood
