Salomey Baffoe bail denied: Cyber-related investigation poses risk of witness interference – High Court
The High Court has cited the cyber-related nature of the investigation as a key reason for refusing bail to Salomey Awiti Baffoe.
The High Court has denied bail to Salomey Awiti Baffoe, a 40-year-old Senior Nursing Officer from Techiman, reportedly due to the cyber-related nature of the ongoing investigation. Baffoe is accused of abetting the publication of false news in connection with the high-profile "Ghana Jollof" TikTok case. The court, in its ruling on Thursday, September 24, stated that releasing the accused at this time could pose a significant risk of witness interference as the investigation continues.
Counsel Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah argued that Baffoe should be granted bail based on the constitutional presumption of innocence, but the prosecution maintained that she still needed to be held in custody to assist with the ongoing investigation and to help track down another individual involved in the case.
