Bail

In his bail application, Mr. Effah Dateh told the court that his client is in a very devastating state upon the death of his wife and needs the freedom to take care of the children.

According to him, his client had gone through the outdooring of Awomefia, he also represents the political and spiritual leader of the Anglos in Ghana.
