COVID-19: I’m not guilty – Nigerian arrested for taking blood samples says

The 34-year-old Nigerian arrested for allegedly defying the government’s restriction order by going round to take blood samples of pregnant women and other residents of Gbese, a suburb of James Town in Accra without legal authority has pleaded not guilty.

Chukwuka James has been charged with failure to comply with the restriction order of the President following the COVID-19 pandemic.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge explaining that it was not deliberate that he came out that day.

The accused person has, therefore, been remanded by the Accra Circuit Court presided over by Afia Owusuwaa Appiah to re-appear on the 30th of April.
