The Kwabenya Circuit Court has adjourned the case of Nowell Gavu, the man accused of destroying six effigies at the Airport Roundabout, to December 17.
Gavu, a 37-year-old CCTV installer, appeared calm when he was presented before the court.
The hearing was conducted in chambers, and the court is awaiting the explanation of a comprehensive medical report at the next session.
A brain scan was previously ordered to assess Gavu’s mental status.
He faces charges of causing damage for allegedly destroying the Big Six statues on August 31, 2024.
The complainant, who witnessed Gavu breaking the statues with a hammer, reported the incident, leading to his arrest.
Gavu’s initial statements were inconsistent, but he later claimed that a spirit in his dream had instructed him to destroy the statues.
Police investigations revealed that Gavu had exhibited abnormal behaviour and had stopped taking his prescribed medication.
His uncle had previously taken him to the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital for treatment.
Gavu’s medical report will be reviewed at the next hearing for a decision on his plea.
