Former Labour Minister Ignatius Baffour Awuah has been granted bail set at GHC 500,000 with two sureties.
Baffour Awuah, along with fellow suspect Joseph Kyeremeh, who was also granted bail, is scheduled to reappear before the Sunyani District Magistrate Court B on Monday, February 17, 2025.
The former Employment and Labour Relations Minister has been charged with abetment to commit a crime, specifically murder, in violation of Section 20(1) and Section 46 of the Criminal Offenses Act, 1960 (Act 29).
Meanwhile, Agyemang Duah Owusu, the third suspect who was arrested on Monday, has been remanded in police custody.
Baffour Awuah, a former Member of Parliament for Sunyani West, was arrested on Monday together with two other suspects; Agyemang Duah Owusu and Kyeremeh Joseph, in connection with the violent disturbances that erupted during the league match between Nsoatreman F.C. and Kumasi Asante Kotoko at Nsoatre in the Bono Region.
Presiding judge Eric Daning has also determined that Baffour Awuah should submit his passport to the registry of the court until further directed for the first 14 days from today (4th February).
The Nsoatreaman F.C. president is also not allowed to travel out of the Sunyani Municipality unless with the approval of the court.
