The Adenta Circuit Court has granted 40-year-old Techiman-based nurse, Salomey Awiti Baffoe a bail of GHC100,000 with two sureties to be justified after her lawyers prayed for the same to the court.
Madam Awiti Baffoe has been charged with abetting the publication of false news in connection with tiktoker Ghana Jollof.
In court on Monday, October 5, lawyers for the nurse, led by Manhyia South MP, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah prayed for her release on bail citing that she had been in Police custody for three weeks.
This would be the lawyer's third attempt following an earlier refusal by the Accra High Court in September.
The prosecution, led by Dr Justice Srem-Sai did not oppose the prayer for bail.
After hearing the submission, Presiding Judge Angela Attachie then granted Salomey bail of 100,000 cedis with two sureties to be justified. The court added that the sureties must be civil servants earning not less than GHC3000.
As part of the bail conditions, the Techiman-based nurse is also to report to Police investigators once every two weeks at the Hesua Police station in the vicinity.
The case has been adjourned to February 17 for continuation.
