No evidence Salomey Baffoe could interfere with investigations if granted bail - Lawyer
A member of Salomey Awiti Baffoe’s legal team, Enoch Afoakwa, has disagreed with the High Court’s decision to deny bail to his client.
Enoch Afoakwa, a member of Salomey Awiti Baffoe's legal team, challenged the High Court's decision to deny bail to his client. Afoakwa argued that there was no evidence to support the court's belief that Baffoe could interfere with ongoing cyber investigations. Speaking on TV3's Daily Brief, Afoakwa emphasized that the court's decision was based primarily on the possibility that Baffoe could interfere with witnesses and ongoing investigations.
However, Afoakwa contended that the court lacked substantial evidence to make this judgment, thus stating that the grounds for denying bail were not sufficiently grounded. The High Court in Accra denied Baffoe's bail application on September 24, citing concerns about the cyber-related nature of the case and the potential for her to delete crucial records.
The court directed the Republic to expedite its investigations, with Baffoe to remain in custody until her next court hearing on September 30, 2026. She faces charges of abetting the publication of false news related to the "Ghana Jollof" TikTok case.
