The self-confessed murderer of the Abuakwa North Member of Parliament Joseph Boakye Danqua has been put in chains at the BNI cells, where he is being kept, his lawyer has claimed.
According to Augustine Obour, his client, Daniel Asiedu, is being denied his basic human rights such as access to the washroom.
However, lead state prosecutor Francis Baah has denied the allegations, saying all the security agencies are doing is to keep him safe for the trial.
Asiedu has been charged with murder. He is facing trial at the High court.
