Senior Nursing Officer Salomey Awiti Baffoe has been granted bail in the amount of GH¢100,000 in connection with the alleged publication of false news on social media. The court ordered her release on two sureties, who must be civil servants earning a minimum of GH¢3,000 monthly. Baffoe, aged 40, has pleaded not guilty to the charge and remains in custody as the case continues.
Her family's concern has grown, as her absence is impacting her children and leaving them to struggle without a mother. The latest bail decision came after the High Court denied her bail earlier, with prosecutors arguing that she was still required to aid investigations and could potentially interfere with witnesses. Delays have further plagued her case, with proceedings postponed until October 5 due to the presiding magistrate's commitment to a judges and magistrates conference.
The prosecution intends to present its case upon the matter's resumption, while Baffoe's legal team insists on her presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Her release will hinge on fulfilling the court's set bail conditions.
