Suame NDC Youth Organizer Denied Bail in Asokwa Court
Efforts by lawyers to secure bail for Koampa Razak Avoliya, the Suame NDC Youth Organizer, have been unsuccessful at the Asokwa Circuit Court.
Prosecutor ACP Kofi Blagodzie asked for more time to complete investigations, arguing that Avoliya’s release could cause chaos due to the serious nature of the alleged hate speech he made during a recent media interview.
The presiding judge, Fred Obikyere, agreed with the prosecution and denied the bail application despite the defense’s plea.
Lawyer Evans Amankwaa, who represents Avoliya, expressed disappointment with the ruling and emphasized that the NDC and its members will not be intimidated.
Avoliya, the Suame NDC Youth Organizer, was arrested following an investigation into a viral video in which he was accused of inciting political violence ahead of the upcoming general elections.
The suspect will reappear in court on February 14th
