Senior State Attorney Hilda Craig says some persons accused of plotting to overthrow government held discussions on whether or not to kill President Akufo-Addo once their plot is successful.
She further alleged that ‘the killing of the President’ discussion, however, had the option of being abandoned once the President agreed to announce that his government had been toppled.
Beyond the killing plot, Ms Craig said discussions were also held towards capturing top public officials.
This includes the Vice President, Speaker of Parliament and the Chief of Defence Staff.
