No ‘Presidential Pardon’ Granted To Ato Essien And Others – Ex-Prez Akufo-Addo’s Office Decries ‘False Reports’

The President, in a statement, says he has given no pardon.

This comes to counter earlier claims that the former Chief Executive of the defunct Capital Bank, William Ato Essien who was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment over fraud-related offences and 10 other convicts had been set free by the Ex-President.
