Gregory Afoko, a farmer accused of murdering Adams Mahama, the former Upper East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, has filed a fresh bail application after nearly a decade on remand.

This comes after his previous bail applications were denied, with the court citing no unreasonable delay in his retrial.

Afoko and his co-defendant, Asabke, who was earlier convicted and sentenced to death for conspiracy, are currently facing retrial for murder.

The two have had their plea retaken, and the fifth prosecution witness has already been discharged, with the six expected before the Court presided over by Justice Marie-Louise Simmons.
