A Takoradi circuit court A, last Monday listened to the plea of a team of lawyers to grant the accused who pleaded not guilty bail, since the offense in question was a misdemeanor and therefore bailable.

The court presided over by Justice Michael Cudjoe Ampadu after a long deliberation between lawyers and the Prosecutor granted the bail in the sum of GHS50, 000 with two sureties, one to be justified.

Josephine, is expected to reappear in court on Thursday October 14, 2021, on the charges of deceiving public officers and making false publication about pregnancy and kidnapping.
Josephine, went missing on Sept.16, 2021 carrying a "pregnancy" but was only found some days after without the pregnancy which gained national attention and interest with many twist and turns emanating from the incident.
