Reacting to the situation, Lawyer Larbi swiftly intervened, coordinating with the lawyer handling the case and filing an application for their discharge, slated to be heard on Friday, 1st March.
Before the court hearing, Lawyer Larbi, expressing concern for the well-being of the imprisoned individuals, decided to visit them at the Koforidua Prisons.

“We are here to show our solidarity and provide assistance to our party members in their time of need,” stated Lawyer Larbi during the visit.
The imprisoned individuals, in turn, expressed gratitude for the visit, lauding Chairman Amuzu for his steadfast support and thanking Lawyer Larbi for his efforts in seeking their release.
