The galamsey queen’s hope of being granted bail was therefore dashed as she made her way to the Nsawam Prisons where she is cooling off. The court, presided over by Charles Edward Ekow Baiden, held that the court had observed some inconsistencies in the affidavit in opposition filed by the Attorney General (AG). But Mercy Arthur, the chief state attorney, opposed the bail application and requested for more time to study the reasons for the bail application as well as a docket she received from the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS). She stated that while the prosecution was putting their case together, they were served with the instant bail application. Justice Baiden said he saw the AG’s affidavit in opposition to the bail application on Wednesday.
