Two denied bail over alleged lynching of young man at Daboya
The Buipe District Magistrate Court has denied bail to two persons standing trial over the alleged lynching of a young man at Daboya in the North Gonja District of the Savannah Region.
The Buipe District Magistrate Court has denied bail to Adjei Abdulai and Issah Mahama, who are on trial for allegedly lynching a young man at Daboya in the North Gonja District of the Savannah Region. The two individuals, a final-year student and 22-year-old, were remanded into police custody after their lawyer's bail request was rejected.
The court, presided over by Livingston Lartey Yao Ameevor, has ordered the two to reappear on September 21, 2026. They are accused of the death of Yibonwura, who reportedly died after being attacked over allegations of stealing shea nuts. Adjei Abdulai and Issah Mahama expressed their distress in court, visibly emotional after the bail application was denied.
Inspector Mumuni Muniru, prosecuting the case, stated that investigations are ongoing and that the police are working to apprehend a third suspect currently at large in connection with the alleged lynching. The court's decision implies that Abdulai and Mahama will remain in police custody as the investigation proceeds.
