General News of Wednesday, 18 March 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comFormer Attorney General and lead counsel for Freddie Blay, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has criticised what he describes as “judicial high-handedness” in the handling of his client’s case by the Akropong Circuit Court. Dame expressed strong disapproval of the court’s conduct, arguing that the treatment meted out to Blay undermines confidence in the judiciary. Freddie Blay granted GH¢800,000 bail“…But I would say that we very much deplore the conduct of the circuit court judge at Akropong. We think that such conduct, apart from bringing the judiciary into disrepute, is actually symptomatic of some judicial high-handedness,” he stated. Separately, the Koforidua High Court granted Freddie Blay bail to the tune of GH¢800,000 with two sureties.
