The
Accra
High
Court
granted
bail
to
nine
demonstrators
who
were
arrested
in
late
September.
Ama
Governor
(Elorm
Ababio),
a
lawyer,
was
among
the
nine
arrested
during
the
Democracy
Hub’s
three-day
#ReOccupyJulorbiHouse
and
#StopGalamsey
protests.
According
to
information
published
on
X
by
journalist
Kwaku
Asante,
when
the
bail
was
declared,
state
prosecutors
objected.
“An
Accra
High
Court
presided
over
by
Justice
Comfort
Tasiame
has
granted
bail
to
Ama
Governor
and
8
others
to
the
tune
of
GHC70k
and
two
sureties.
They
are
also
to
report
to
the
Police
once
a
week.
“When
the
application
for
bail
was
moved,
State
Prosecutors
opposed
it,”
he
wrote.
“This
application
is
in
respect
of
Ama
Governor,
Emmanuel
Gyan,
Emmanuel
Kwabena
Addo,
Ziblim
Yakubu,
Oheneba
Prempeh,
Philip,
Owusu
Kobina,
Akisibik
Desmond,
Von
Coffie
and
Sadik
Yakubu.
“There
will
be
another
application
in
a
different
court.
We
await
the
ruling
of
the
Court,”
he
added.
Ama
Governor
was
one
of
53
demonstrators
detained
in
late
September
and
brought
before
the
Accra
High
Court,
where
they
were
held
in
police
prison
for
two
weeks.
