What changed
The Kwabenya Circuit Court denied bail to six people arrested after the seizure of 3.9 tonnes of alleged cocaine at Tema Port. The court cited the seriousness of the offences and charges, while ordering police to take Francis Narh Amanor and Helena Akua Denkyi for medical care whenever needed.
Why it matters
The ruling keeps all six accused people in custody as the case proceeds. It also puts a specific duty on police: Amanor, who has suffered a stroke, and Denkyi, who has sickle cell disease, must be taken to a medical facility when they require attention.
That medical order is the case’s most immediate practical consequence. Bail was refused, but the court did not leave the two defendants’ health needs to chance.
The seizure is substantial, yet key questions remain open. The cocaine’s ownership and destination have not been established, and the allegations still have to be proven.
