Rev Owusu Bempah and his accomplices have each been granted bail in the sums of GHC100,000.
The case has been adjourned to December 14.
The pastor has been standing trial along with the others for threatening to kill Nana Agradaa.
They were re-arrested shortly after they got discharged by the circuit court presided over by Her Honour Afia Owusua Appiah today, Wednesday, November 10, 2021.
It followed a prayer to the court by Chief Inspector Dennis Terkpetey for the accused persons to be discharged in connection with the earlier charges leveled against them.
Their first arrest followed the wide circulation of a video on social media that captured the pastor’s aides brandishing a gun as they threatened to kill Nana Agradaa.
They pleaded not guilty.
The court granted Rev. Owusu Bempah a self-recognizance bail of GHC 100,000.
His aides were each granted bail of GHC100,000 with two sureties.
Also, the pastor was granted a GHC 400,000 bail in another case in which he, together with three others: Michael Boateng, Frederick Ohene, and Nathaniel Agyekum, was charged for causing harm and unlawful damage to a police vehicle.
They will appear before the court on November 15, 2021, over these charges.
