Driver's mate on 10 million cedis bail

An Accra Regional Tribunal on Wednesday granted bail in the sum of 10 million cedis with one surety to Samuel Cudjoe, the mate of the Nissan Urvan bus which allegedly caused the accident involving the presidential convoy on the Accra-Tema Motorway in October this year.

The bail, according to a front-page report of the Graphic, followed an application filed by counsel for Cudjoe, Mr John Klu.

Granting him bail, the tribunal, chaired by Mr Isaac Douse, said it considered the provisions of the 1992 Constitution which deals with fundamental human rights and had no doubt that the applicant was entitled to bail.
