They have all pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit a crime and installing a chief contrary to the Public Order Act, and were each granted 50 million cedis bail until Friday, May 11. Prosecuting, Chief inspector Hope Azasoo told the court presided over by Beresford Acquah that last Saturday, Nana J. B.
