Gregory Afoko’s legal counsel, Nana Yaw Osei, has revealed that his client, currently held at Nsawam Prisons, has not yet been informed of the recent bail conditions set by the Accra High Court.
In an interview with Channel One News’ Charles Owusu Kumi, Osei mentioned plans to communicate the latest developments to Afoko in the coming days.
The Accra High Court on Friday granted bail to Gregory Afoko, who has been on remand for nearly a decade over the alleged murder of Adams Mahama, the former Upper East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). The bail is set at GH¢500,000 with two sureties.
Lawyers of Afoko filed for the bail application on Monday, February 17, his third attempt since his trial began in 2015.
“Gregory was not in court today [February 21] when the bail was granted. He’s in custody in Nsawam, and so reaching him almost immediately was impossible.
“And so as we speak, we have not been able to establish contact with him yet. In the coming days, we will go there, and alert him as to what has happened. But as we speak, I cannot tell you whether he has received the message or not. I cannot.”
