Adentan Circuit Court grants Ebo Noah GHC 100,000 bail with two sureties
The Adentan Circuit Court has granted bail to Ebo Noah in the sum of GHC 100,000 with two sureties, one of whom must provide a landed property or a car to justify the bail.
The court adjourned the case to March 18 for further proceedings.
Ebo Noah had earlier been remanded into police custody for two weeks after the court postponed hearing the case.
During that period, the court ordered that he undergo a psychiatric evaluation at the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital.
At the latest court sitting, the psychiatric report was presented to the court, paving the way for the bail decision.
Ebo Noah is expected to meet the bail conditions and reappear before the court on the next adjourned date as the case continues.
Ebo Noah is facing charges in connection with an alleged incident in which he is accused of engaging in disorderly conduct that raised concerns about his mental state and public safety.
Following his arrest, the court ordered that he undergo a psychiatric evaluation to determine his mental condition at the time of the alleged offence.
He was earlier remanded into police custody for two weeks after the court postponed hearing the case.
The court had also directed that he undergo a psychiatric evaluation at the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital prior to his latest appearance.
At the most recent sitting, the psychiatric report was presented to the court, leading to the decision to grant him bail as the case continues.

National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Executive Committee member and Volta River Authority (VRA) Board Member, Wonder Victor Kutor, has described calls for the resignation of Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as premature and unjustified.
He argued that there was no evidence to establish that the minister had committed any wrongdoing to warrant such demands.
Speaking on Joy News in Accra on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Mr Kutor questioned what had changed to justify the growing calls for the minister to step down.
He recalled that the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Abu Jinapor, had earlier indicated that the opposition was not accusing Mr Ablakwa of any wrongdoing.
Mr Kutor, therefore, challenged those demanding the minister’s resignation to provide fresh evidence to support their position.
“The call for the Minister to resign is premature, it is untenable. There is no evidence. I mean, what has he done wrong?” he questioned.
He added that documents, including boarding passes, airline receipts and flight manifests relating to the minister’s return journey, had been provided.
Mr Kutor expressed concern that the calls for Mr Ablakwa’s resignation could discourage young politicians from speaking out against corruption and advocating transparency.
According to him, politicians should not be targeted or maligned for demanding accountability, warning that such treatment could create the impression that speaking against corruption could later become a liability when one is appointed to public office.
He maintained that calling for accountability and transparency should not be used as grounds to target public officials without evidence of wrongdoing.
