State Attorney Nana Akosua Kusi informed the court that Fanny Otoo, one of the protesters, was absent due to health issues.

She explained that Otoo had been hospitalized since the case began and had presented a medical report regarding his condition.

Kusi noted that although Otoo had been discharged on October 3, he was unable to attend court due to a judges’ conference and had to be rushed back to the hospital that afternoon.

The prosecution also mentioned that disclosures had yet to be served to the protesters’ lawyers, prompting a request for a brief adjournment.

The lawyers for the protesters emphasized their clients’ deteriorating health, citing that one individual with asthma had been frequently hospitalized.

After considering these concerns, presiding judge Kobina Obiri Yeboah granted the bail and scheduled their next court appearance for October 14.

The detainees include popular activist Raphael Williams alongside Razak Suleman, Gerald Delim, Comrade Abubakar Sadeeq, Bilal Mohammed, Ebenezer Ankomanyi Okyere, Norgbedzi Kelvin, Priscilla Tobili, Mohammed King Hassan, and Tanko Nabong, also known as Black Pyramid.

This brings 52 the number of arrested protestors granted bail in all, leaving just Oliver in custody.

The case has been adjourned to October 14, 2024.
