NPP MP for Bawku Central Adamu Dramani Sakande has been convicted on three counts of Perjury, False Declaration and Deceit of a Public Officer.

He has been sentenced to two years imprisonment for the three counts which would be running concurrently.

This means the MP would have to stop holding himself as the Member of Parliament for the people of Bawku Central constituency.

A cattle farmer, Mr Biebel had, in March 2009, filed a suit at the High Court challenging the eligibility of the legislator on the grounds that the he held both British and Burkinabe passports.
