Journalist and Editor of The Herald newspaper, Larry Alans Dogbey, has been granted bail after he was jailed for contempt of court.
Mr. Dogbey was sentenced on Thursday, June 25, by an Accra High Court presided over by Justice Isaac Addo after being found guilty of contempt in relation to publications concerning a legal dispute between businessman Kevin Okyere, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Springfield Exploration and Production Limited (SEP), and Petraco SA.
The contempt charges stemmed from articles published by The Herald regarding a petition filed by Petraco SA against Mr. Okyere.
According to the court, Mr. Dogbey failed to comply with an interlocutory injunction restraining him from publishing further statements on the matter.
