The 40-year-old man arrested in connection with a viral assault incident in Cape Coast has been granted bail after appearing before court.
Samuel Bills Acquah was on Monday, March 30, 2026, arraigned before Circuit Court 1 in Cape Coast on a charge of causing unlawful harm. He pleaded not guilty to the offence.
The court granted him bail for ₵100,000 with two sureties to be justified. The case has been adjourned to April 10, 2026.
