Eastern NPP Women’s Organiser calls on AG, Police to secure bail for Salomey Baffoe
The Eastern Regional Women’s Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Regina Bempong, is calling on the Attorney-General and the Police Criminal Investigations Department to secure bail for Senior Nursing Officer, Salomey Awiti Baffoe, who is being held in connection with the “Ghana Jollof” case.
Regina Bempong, the Eastern Regional Women’s Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is urging the Attorney-General and the Police Criminal Investigations Department to grant bail to Senior Nursing Officer, Salomey Awiti Baffoe, who is currently in police custody. Mrs Bempong argues that her detainment is unjust, given that she is a mother of three and faces a misdemeanor charge.
Baffoe was remanded in custody on September 17, 2026, for allegedly abetting the crime known as the “Ghana Jollof” case. Her bail application was denied by the High Court in Accra on September 24. In her statement, Bempong insists that fears of interference with electronic evidence should not justify keeping Baffoe in custody, as the police have already seized her two mobile phones and accessed their contents.
She emphasizes that the alleged offense is bailable and maintains that Baffoe is innocent until proven guilty. Therefore, Bempong is appealing to the Attorney-General and the Police CID to facilitate her release under reasonable conditions while the investigation continues. Additionally, she is appealing to the Chief Justice to consider a petition filed by Baffoe’s lawyer, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, requesting that the Court of Appeal hear the case concerning her liberty.
Bempong also calls upon women's groups, the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), FIDA, and civil society organizations to voice their support for Baffoe's case.
