AG told me I am collateral damage, but I will be acquitted at the end of the trial - Richard Jakpa tells court

Richard Jakpa, the third accused in the ambulance procurement trial, claimed that Attorney-General Godfred Dame referred to him as "collateral damage" during their interactions.

In a dramatic court revelation on Thursday, June 20, Jakpa asserted that despite this characterization, the Attorney-General assured him that he would ultimately be acquitted by the end of the trial.

This statement illuminated the nature of Jakpa's conversations with Mr. Dame, suggesting a candid and complex exchange between the parties involved in the high-profile legal proceedings.

According to Jakpa, Mr. Dame's remark implied that although he might currently be facing legal scrutiny as a consequence of broader actions, he would eventually be cleared of any wrongdoing.

This revelation came amidst ongoing discussions about the authenticity and handling of evidence in the trial, including allegations that WhatsApp messages submitted by the Attorney-General had been tampered with.
