Private Legal Practitioner George Bernard Shaw has described the trial of Gregory Afoko, who is accused of involvement in the murder of Adams Mahama, as persecution.
Afoko, a prime suspect in the 2015 killing of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Upper East Regional Chairman, Adams Mahama, was finally granted bail after nearly a decade in detention.
The Accra High Court set bail at GHS 500,000 with two sureties, one of whom must own a landed property and both having fixed places of abode.
The ruling follows years of unsuccessful bail applications and growing concerns over his prolonged pre-trial detention.
