COURT GRANTS BAIL TO SHOOTING SUSPECTS (PAGE 19, JAN 23, 2010)

A circuit court in Bolgatanga has granted bail to the two suspects arrested in Bawku in connection with the shooting incident in the municipality in November last year.
Rashid Bukari and Justine Hado were granted bail in the sum of GH¢ 90,000 with a surety to be justified and will re-appear before the court on February 15, 2010.
Mr Joseph Kpemka Dindiok, counsel for the suspects, whose arrest generated a massive furore based on allegations that they had been stripped naked by the security personnel who apprehended them, in an interview with the Daily Graphic, said per the terms of the bail, the two were not to return to Bawku but remain in Bolgatanga until the next court hearing.
Bukari, 26, a Mamprusi, and his accomplice, Hado, a Yanga by tribe and teacher at the Methodist JHS in Bawku, were arrested by soldiers in Bawku in November last year following a shooting incident in Bawku.
The two were being held for unlawful possession of ammunition and had been in prison custody until they were granted bail.
