The High Court of Ghana, General Jurisdiction 2, has granted bail to Abubakar Yakubu, the Sunyani East Communications Officer of the New Patriotic Party, who is commonly referred to as Baba Amando, after he spent two weeks in remand at an Accra Circuit Court.
The court set his bail at GH¢30,000, requiring two sureties, and mandated that he report to the police biweekly as investigations proceed.
Abubakar Yakubu was apprehended on Monday, April 13, 2026, as part of ongoing inquiries into allegations of offensive behavior, false publication, and the dissemination of statements likely to incite fear and panic.
His previous remand by an Accra Circuit Court on April 14 attracted significant attention, prompting authorities to intensify their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged offenses.
While formal charges have not yet been filed, sources suggest that the arrest may be connected to alleged threats made against a judge at the Adentan Circuit Court, a situation that has raised alarms within legal and governance communities.
Additionally, he is accused of having shared derogatory images of the President and certain members of the ruling government.
The case is still developing as investigators strive to uncover the complete facts, while the conditions imposed by the court are anticipated to ensure Yakubu’s availability to aid in the ongoing investigation.
