The Accra Circuit Court has granted bail of 80,000 cedis with one surety each to the eight accused persons involved in the Ablekuma North parliamentary re-run violence.
The eight were arrested by the Accra Regional Police Command following investigations into the violence that characterized the re-run held on Friday, July 11, 2025.
They were later put before the court after preliminary investigations linked them to the electoral disturbances captured on viral videos on both mainstream and social media.
The accused are: Mohammed Abubakari, 32, Private Security Officer, Tijani Mahamudu, 38, Driver, Prince Dzakpasu, 39, Businessman, Anas Mohammed, 42, Estate Developer, Mohammed Hamda, 35, Mechanic, Darko Otibu Samuel, 33, Businessman, Musah Muntari, 46, Station Manager, and Ali Saeed, alias Bomba, 43, Businessman.
All eight pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit crime, to wit: assault, and assault, contrary to Sections 23(1) and 84 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
However, the court granted each accused bail of ₵80,000 with one surety and adjourned the case to August 29, 2025.
The Accra Regional Police Command reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring justice while maintaining peace and order.
