After the judge asked whether he was making the confession because of the promise or out of a threat, Daniel Asiedu, nicknamed Sexy Don Don, said he is making the confession because he is now a changed person and wants the truth to be out.
The judge told the accused that he cannot be released for confessing because he is in a committal stage of the trial.
She said he can only provide evidence on what he is saying at the High Court, where a proper trial will take place.
But he was asked to return to think about what he has told the court, and to consider whether to add more or retract them.
