Accra Circuit Court details reasons for Abronye DC's continued detention
Abronye’s legal team, led by former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, argued for his release while the case continues.
“We move in terms of the motion paper and pray that the applicant be granted bail pending trial,” counsel for the applicant submitted.
In court, Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem-Sai, who represented the prosecution, told the judge that the country did not oppose the application.
The court subsequently admitted Abronye to bail in the sum of GH¢100,000 with two sureties.
As part of the conditions attached to his release, the court directed him to report to the Police CID once every two weeks, surrender all travel documents, and seek permission from the Registrar before travelling outside the jurisdiction.
Supporters of the NPP communicator, who had gathered around the court premises, appeared visibly relieved after the ruling.
His earlier remand into custody had triggered criticism from sections of the NPP, as well as, some legal analysts, who argued that the decision infringed on his constitutional rights.
The case is expected to continue in the coming weeks as prosecutors pursue the false publication charges against the controversial political figure.
