High Court adjourns Abronye's bail application after AG's request

Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, will have his bail application heard on Thursday in Accra, after the Attorney-General sought more time to respond to the motion. The court adjourned proceedings after the prosecution "prayed for a short date to enable it to file its response to the bail application."

Daniel Amartey Addo, led by former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame, opposed the request, arguing that the Republic had already been served with the application on May 14, 2026. Abronye is facing charges with one count of offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace and another count of publication of false news. His legal team filed an application for bail pending trial, arguing that his continued detention infringed on his constitutional rights and posed concerns regarding his health and personal liberty. Mr. Dame described the request by the prosecution as "completely out of order" and prayed the court to hear the bail application, stressing that the matter concerned the liberty and rights of the accused person. Assistant State Attorney, Grace Delali Tali, told the court that although the Republic had been served on May 14, the period amounted to three clear days and not six, and that "the prosecution needed time to consult investigators and familiarise itself with the case before responding appropriately."

The court ruled that "The Republic has up to the close of today to file the necessary response." The case was subsequently adjourned to tomorrow for hearing of the bail application.
