Reliable information reaching us has it that embattled
artistes manager and CEO of Bullhaus Entertainment, Lawrence Nana
Asiamah Hanson has been granted bail.
According to sources the Human Rights
Division of the Accra High Court on Tuesday May 27, 2014 granted bail
to Nana Asiamah, aka Bull Dog who has been in Police custody since
Thursday May 15 , 2014.
Sources say, Bulldog’s lawyers took the matter to the Human Rights Court after the District Magistrate Court refused to grant him bail on May 19.
The
Human Rights Court granted him bail Tuesday on the basis that the facts
as the police presented and upon which they were holding Bulldog are
“speculative” and do not link him to the charges that have been
preferred against him.
On that basis, the court ruled that,
Bulldog deserves his freedom and should not have been held even for a
day. The police ought to have granted him police enquiry bail, the court
added.
Lawyer for Bulldog, Gary Nimako confirmed the news to Citifmonline.com in Accra this afternoon.
Bull Dog, who has been accused of conspiracy to murder
and murder of of Fennec Okyere, manager of Rapper, Kwaw Kesse, alias
Abodam was arraigned in court on Monday, May 19, but the court remanded
him to re-appear on June 2.
This followed an argument from the prosecution that they needed more time to conduct further investigations into the case.
Background
Bull Dog was arrested by the
police on May 15 in Kokomlemle after a two-month surveillance for the
perpetrators of the alleged murder of Fennec Okyere who was found dead
in his house on Spintex Road in Accra on March 13, 2014.
According to the Director
General of the CID, Commissioner of Police Mr Prosper Agblor, Bulldog
is alleged to have threatened Fennec on several occasions through voice
and text messages on phone.
He said investigations by the police
established that Bulldog had several confrontations with Fennec and
threatened to teach Fennec a lesson.
