The Court presided over by Rosemary Baah Torsu, granted the suspects GH¢80,000 bail with two sureties each.
They are also asked to sign a bond of good behaviour, and to report to the Nima Divisional Police Headquarters twice a week.
However, the Court caged Aziz Suleman alias Rambo, and Farouk Dauda alias Omoni after the Prosecutor, Chief Inspector Denis Terkpetey Esq prayed the court to do so in order to avoid them interfering with investigation.
According to prosecution, the two were directly linked to the charges.
On Tuesday February 1, 2022, the 12 accused persons were put before court facing three counts of criminal offences; rioting with weapons; conspiracy to riot with weapons, and causing harm to one Frimpong Boateng and one Shaibu Abdul Razak per the amended charge sheet presented to the court.
