Media personality and New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary aspirant, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, has been granted bail of GH¢100,000 after appearing before the Nsuta Circuit Court on Friday, July 17, 2026.
His lawyer, George Oppong, told journalists after the court sitting that Afrifa-Mensah was granted bail with one surety, while six other accused persons were each granted bail with two sureties.
He confirmed that all the accused persons are now on bail as the case continues.
“The judge heard arguments from both the prosecution and defense before ruling on bail. Counsel pleaded for bail for all the accused persons, which was granted pending the determination of the case. As a result, all the accused are currently on bail,” he said.
“…Okatakyie Afrifa was granted bail of GH¢100,000 with one surety, who must earn a gross monthly salary of not less than GH¢4,000. The six other accused persons were each granted bail with two sureties,” he added.
The court has adjourned the case to August 13, 2026.
Afrifa-Mensah was arrested on July 12, 2026, over alleged violence during the NPP Afigya Sekyere East constituency executive elections.
His team claims he was assaulted while attempting to serve a court injunction to stop the elections.
However, the police said his group disrupted the election process.
