Justice Honyenuga summons medical director who gave excuse notice to Dr. Opuni

Retired Supreme Court judge, Justice Clemence Jackson Honyenuga has cast doubt on Dr. Stephen Opuni’s medical report, and has therefore summoned the medical director who operated on him to give detailed accounts of the accused’s medical condition.

Dr. Opuni is said to have undergone four different surgeries on his left eye in late September and was given six weeks to rest the left eye to ensure proper healing.

This was brought to the attention of the court on Tuesday, with the necessary documents, but the judge didn’t appear convinced.

Justice Honyenuga therefore ordered the medical director to appear in court on the next adjourned date with all the records on Dr. Opuni.

“The Registrar of this Court is to ensure that this order is served on the said medical director on his address as stated on the letter. In the circumstances, I will adjourn this matter to Monday 17th October 2022 at 10 am”.

The trial was to have resumed on October 3 after the two-month legal vacation, but sitting was adjourned twice on the behest of the trial judge who was indisposed.
