The High Court is set to rule on the bail application submitted by the lawyers representing former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and his wife, Angela Adjei Boateng.

According to the defense team, the GH¢120 million bail requirement for Adu-Boahene and the GH¢80 million set for his wife are not only excessive but also a deliberate attempt to keep them in detention beyond the constitutional 48-hour limit.

“The Respondents, with a clear motive to incarcerate the Applicants beyond the 48-hour period as spelt out by the Constitution, have imposed burdensome and unreasonable conditions on the Applicants as the precondition for their granting them bail,” the legal team argued.

The lawyers maintain that these conditions are being used as a tool to prolong their clients’ detention without trial.

They have accused the Attorney-General and the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), who are respondents in the case, of obstructing due process.

“The justification of the bail is at the pleasure of the Respondents,” they added, stressing that their clients' right to liberty is being infringed upon.

As the legal battle over the bail terms continues, the High Court is set to rule on the application soon, a decision that could determine whether the couple secures their release or remains in custody.
