Accused marketer Kweku Osei Korankye Asiedu, also known as Koka, has been granted GH¢100,000 bail with two sureties to reside within the jurisdiction of Accra Circuit Court. The court ordered him to surrender his passport and Ghana Card, as well as report to the case investigator on the last Friday of each month. Asiedu is accused of threatening Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) staff with death, a charge he pleaded not guilty to.
Prosecutors allege that on July 14, 2026, Asiedu circulated a video threatening EOCO personnel's lives, stating that they knew their houses and would kill them. Additionally, on July 13, 2026, Asiedu was accused of misleading the public by claiming there was an order from the Presidency preventing food from reaching Dennis Miracles Aboagye, who was assisting EOCO investigations.
The prosecution stated that Asiedu's actions were intended to provoke a breach of the peace and undermine EOCO officials' lawful duties. As a result, the driver of EOCO's Executive Director was reportedly chased by about 20 men on motorbikes, instilling fear among EOCO personnel. Asiedu, who was arrested and reportedly admitted to the offences, will next appear in court on November 3, 2026.
