Bail has been granted to Priscilla Duah Birago, a 29-year-old National Service Person, and Charity Dede Tetteh, a 29-year-old beautician, who are standing trial for allegedly making abusive statements against President John Dramani Mahama after the August 6 helicopter crash.

The Adenta Circuit Court admitted each to bail of GH¢100,000 with two sureties, one justified with property.

Both pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and offensive conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.

Prosecutors say the accused hosted a TikTok live where they remarked, "We would have been happier if the President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, was involved in the helicopter crash and dwarfs had eaten him up.
