The court presided over by Justice Samuel Asiedu, a Court of Appeal judge sitting as additional High Court judge, last month granted the accused persons a bail of GH¢10 million each with two sureties, each to be justified. But the accused persons were unable to meet the terms of the bail and their lawyers subsequently filed application for variation of the bail conditions. The other two accused persons, ASP Dr. Benjamin Agordzo and WO II Esther Saan, aka Mama Gee, had already been granted bail by another court. She said the accused persons were members of the NGO – Take Action Ghana – which was to be used as a vehicle to embark on a series of demonstrations geared at toppling government.
