An Accra Circuit Court has once again denied bail to embattled Wontumi Radio presenter, Akyenkwaa Nana Kofi Asare.

The court had previously denied bail to the journalist, who has been in custody since his arrest on Tuesday, August 12, 2025.

He was arrested over comments linking President John Dramani Mahama to the August 6, 2025, Ghana Armed Forces Z-9 helicopter crash, which claimed the lives of eight persons, including two cabinet ministers.

According to reports, Nana Kofi Asare, who was denied bail by the court on August 14, made a reappearance on Monday, August 25, 2025, but was subsequently remanded again.

The court has adjourned his case to August 27, 2025.

During his first appearance on August 14, the presenter, while being escorted by the police into a waiting vehicle, told the press, “Don’t worry, it is nothing; I will be back stronger.”

However, during his latest appearance, the journalist displayed a more sombre mood, with his gaze lowered while being escorted out of court.
