Heavy security at Accra High Court ahead of Salomey Baffoe bail hearing after EOCO’s attempted arrest of Manhyia South MP
A heavy security presence has been observed at the Accra High Court on Thursday, September 24, ahead of the hearing of the bail application of nurse Salomey Awiti Baffoe.
On Thursday, September 24, the Accra High Court was enveloped in a heavy security presence in anticipation of the bail hearing for nurse Salomey Awiti Baffoe. This heightened security measure came after a tense incident on Wednesday, September 23, where Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) officials tried to arrest Manhyia South Member of Parliament, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah.
The MP was present at the court to represent Baffoe regarding her bail application connected to an alleged false publication case involving TikToker Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, also known as "Ghana Jollof." On Wednesday, the court had initially granted bail to Baffoe but adjourned the proceedings due to the prosecution's need for additional time to respond to the application.
The defense, represented by Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, opposed the adjournment, asserting that the matter concerning his client's liberty should be addressed promptly. The court agreed, thus paving the way for today's bail application hearing.
