Accra, Oct. 15, GNA- Thomas Yeboah, one of the anti-galamsey protesters, is still in police custody despite being granted bail by an Accra Circuit Court.<\/p>\n
His lawyer, Nelson Noble Amedorwornu, informed the court that Yeboah was still detained because no one was willing to act as his surety due to his lack of coherence.<\/p>\n
During a hearing on Monday, Yeboah appeared alongside Oliver Barker-Vormawor and 12 others.<\/p>\n
Following the lawyer\u2019s statement, the court, presided over by Mr. Kwabena Kodua Obiri Yeboah, ordered the prosecution to have Yeboah undergo a mental evaluation to determine his fitness for prosecution.<\/p>\n
The court also directed the prosecution to facilitate the execution of his bail.<\/p>\n
Fanny Otoo, another accused who was not present in court earlier, had his plea taken after the charges against him\u2014offensive conduct, causing damage, and assaulting a public officer\u2014were read.<\/p>\n
He was granted bail by the court.<\/p>\n
The prosecution, led by State Attorney Nana Akosua Kusi, informed the court that they had not yet filed all witness statements and requested a one-week adjournment.<\/p>\n
Regarding Yeboah\u2019s coherence issues, the prosecution mentioned it just learned about it.<\/p>\n
The prosecution suggested that the court should order a psychiatric examination for Yeboah.<\/p>\n
The court then instructed the prosecution to submit all witness statements by October 22, 2024.<\/p>\n
The matter was adjourned to October 24, 2024.<\/p>\n
Oliver Barker-Vormawor, the convenor of the anti-galamsey protest, remains in custody.<\/p>\n
His detention drew a crowd of supporters to the court, who chanted, \u201cFree Oliver Now.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a separate case, Raphael Afful Williams and eight other protesters also had their hearing postponed to November 6, 2024.<\/p>\n
The prosecution requested additional time to file their witness statements.<\/p>\n
