They are Elorm Ababio (Ama Governor) Emmanuel Gyan, Emmanuel Kwabena Addo, Ziblim Yakubu, Oheneba Prempeh, Philip Owusu Kwabena, Akisibik Desmond, Von Coffie, and Sadik Yakubu.
As part of the bail, they are required to report to the Ghana Police Service once a week
This ruling follows a hearing that assessed the legal and societal implications of the protestors’ actions against illegal mining in Ghana.
The bail conditions aim to ensure that the accused remain available for future court proceedings while allowing them temporary relief from custody.
