On Friday, the Accra High Court granted Afoko bail set at GH¢500,000 with two sureties. This marks his third attempt at securing bail since his trial began in 2015. The latest application was filed on Monday, February 17.

“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,” Osei explained.

He further added, “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.”

Afoko has been in custody since 2015, following accusations of murdering Adams Mahama, the former Upper East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). The bail approval presents a potential turning point in a case that has lingered in court for nearly ten years.
