The Sunyani High Court 2 last Thursday granted a GH¢100,000 bail with two sureties to one of the six persons accused of the murder and secret burial of a 48-year-old charcoal burner, Abu Bukari Bahala, at Seikwa in the Tain District in the Bono Region.
The presiding judge, Justice Gabriel Mate-Teye, granted the bail application of the Manager of the Nkoranman Rural Bank, Mr Emmanuel Ofori, on health grounds but refused to grant the application for bail by counsels for the other five accused persons.
Three of the accused persons, who are police officers at the Seikwa Police Station, are Chief Inspector Eric Aforo, General Corporal William Apussung and General Constable Ebenezer Akuffo, while the remaining two, who are security men at the Nkoranman Rural Bank, are Rubin Obeng and Aaron Abbey.

The Bono Regional Police Command has released the body of a 48-year-old charcoal burner, Abu Bukari Bahala, who was allegedly killed and secretly buried by three police officers at Seikwa in the Tain District for re-burial in Sunyani.
The body was released to family members at the Sunyani Regional Hospital after an autopsy was conducted by a Senior Specialist Pathologist at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Dr. Ernest K. Adjei, on Sunday, April 25, 2021.
The pathologist described the death as unnatural, as Bahala died due to a chest injury and blunt trauma to the chest.
The deceased was said to have smashed the car windscreen of the Manager of the Nkoranman Rural Bank, Mr. Emmanuel Ofori, as a result of which he was beaten to death. The registration number of the vehicle is AS 2000- X.
