Afoko Granted Bail, But Still Unaware – Lawyer Reveals
Legal team yet to inform him of Accra High Court’s decision
- Gregory Afoko granted GH¢500,000 bail with two sureties after nearly a decade in remand
- His lawyers have not yet informed him of the court’s decision
- Legal team plans to visit Nsawam Prisons to relay the update
Gregory Afoko’s legal counsel, Nana Yaw Osei, has disclosed that his client, currently held at Nsawam Prisons, has yet to be informed of the latest bail conditions set by the Accra High Court.
Speaking to Channel One News’ Charles Owusu Kumi, Osei stated that efforts are underway to relay the court’s decision to Afoko in the coming days.
The Accra High Court granted Afoko bail on Friday after nearly a decade in remand over the alleged murder of Adams Mahama, the former Upper East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). The bail was set at GH¢500,000 with two sureties.
Afoko’s lawyers filed the bail application on Monday, February 17, marking his third attempt since his trial began in 2015.
“Gregory was not in court today [February 21] when the bail was granted. He’s in custody in Nsawam, and reaching him immediately was impossible,” Osei explained.
“As we speak, we have not been able to establish contact with him yet. In the coming days, we will go there and inform him of what has happened. But at this moment, I cannot confirm whether he has received the message or not.”
