A High Court has granted bail to a New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications officer who had been remanded over allegations of offensive conduct and false publication.
Abubakar Yakubu, popularly known as Baba Amando and the Sunyani East Communications Officer of the NPP, was admitted to bail in the sum of 30,000 cedis with two sureties after spending two weeks in custody.
The court also ordered him to report to police every two weeks as investigations continue.
Yakubu was arrested on 13 April as part of an ongoing probe into allegations involving the circulation of statements deemed likely to incite fear and panic.
His remand by an Accra Circuit Court a day later had drawn public attention, with authorities intensifying investigations into the case.
While formal charges are yet to be filed, sources say the arrest may be linked to alleged threats directed at a judge at the Adentan Circuit Court, as well as the circulation of derogatory images involving the president and members of the ruling government.
The case remains under investigation, with authorities working to establish the full circumstances surrounding the allegations.
