Accused coup plotters denied bail

The four persons accused of plotting to overthrow the government have been denied bail by an Accra High Court.

‘Coup plotters’ not competent to act; evidence not enough – Bagbin

The court, presided over by Justice George Buadi, held that the accused persons were not entitled to bail because they have not been unreasonably detained.

Justice Buadi was of the view that two months in detention on allegations of attempting to overthrow the government could not be described as unreasonable.

He, therefore, upheld the argument of the prosecution that investigations were still ongoing and the accused persons could interfere with investigations when granted bail at this stage.

“Two months detention on suspicion of committing treason is not unreasonable,” Justice Buadi held.
