Solar panels that have been installed at the premises of the Accra Court have been broken down by the heavy downpour over the weekend.

Sources at the court premises told Starr News that they resumed from the weekend today only to see the solar panel destroyed.

Last week, hard drives in about five High Courts located in the Law Court Complex were stolen from systems units of computers used for recording and storing Court records and proceedings.

The case of theft is believed to have happened during the just ended legal vacation which was observed from 1st August to 5th of October 2019.

just last week arrested some Judicial Service workers who work in the affected courts as well as officers of the Judicial Service who work in the Information Technology (IT) department.

The said officers have been questioned and their mobile phones have been seized while investigations continue.

Amongst the affected courts whose hard drives have been stolen is the High Court adjudicating the case of the Republic versus Stephen Opuni, Seidu Agogo and Agricult Limited (the Cocobod Case), which is presided over by Court of Appeal Judge, Justice Clemence Hoyenuga.
