Hopeson Adorye charged with Publication of false news, granted GHc20k bail
The Dansoman Circuit Court has granted bail to Hopeson Adorye in the sum of GHc20, 000 after pleading not guilty to the charge of publication of false news.
As part of his bail conditions, the court said he is to produce two sureties one of whom should be justified.
Mr Adorye was arrested on Wednesday May 22 after he is said to have confessed of detonating some dynamite in the run up to the 2016 elections.
Hopeson Adorye in a recent interview with an Accra-based Radio station, alleged that dynamite explosions in the Volta Region preceding the elections aimed to deter voters in opposition strongholds.
“Prior to the elections, we blasted dynamite in parts of the Volta Region, and that scared a number of people. When I finished casting my ballot in Tema, I drove to the Volta Region, and when I asked for the number of people who had voted and the expected number of voters, it turned out people did not come out to vote,” Adorye asserted.
