If he wanted to flee, he wouldn't have returned to Ghana - Kpebu on Miracles Aboagye's GH¢50m bail
Martin Kpebu, a private legal practitioner, called for a more practical approach to bail conditions on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem, arguing that some requirements make it unnecessarily difficult for suspects to secure their release. He cited Dennis Miracles Aboagye as someone unlikely to abscond, stating, "Where will Miracles run to? If indeed he wanted to run away, he wouldn't have come back to Ghana because he travelled outside." He questioned why Mr. Aboagye, who travelled outside Ghana and returned, would suddenly attempt to flee the country.
Mr. Kpebu also raised concerns about the requirement for sureties to provide registered properties, arguing that non-registered properties are more than the registered ones by more than a hundred-fold in Ghana. He suggested authorities adopt a more flexible approach by allowing other forms of property verification while giving suspects time to regularise documents. He explained that using terms like "sensible" or "practical" in discussing bail conditions should not be interpreted as an attack on authorities, as such expressions are commonly used in legal practice.
