The three people on trial for their roles in the NDC youth and women’s congress disturbances have been granted GH50,000 bail with two sureties each.

The court also ordered the accused to report to the police twice a week, specifically on Mondays and Fridays.
The Ghana Police Service declared sixteen persons wanted for their alleged involvement in violent clashes at the NDC’s Women’s Organiser and National Youth Organiser congress held in Cape Coast on Saturday, December 10, 2022.
A statement issued by the Police, on the matter said: “while proceedings were ongoing at the Congress two rival groups violently clashed throwing stones, blocks, sticks, clubs, chairs among others, causing injury to three persons and destruction to property”.
“After an initial review of Police-specific video footages of the event, 16 suspects have so far been identified as some of the people involved in the violence and have been declared wanted. A GH¢10,000.00 reward has been set aside for any member of the public who can provide credible information to the police that can lead to the arrest of any of the suspects,” the statement said.
