Wisdom Ahli, the Second preacher, nabbed for allegedly damaging vehicle windscreens at Parliament, has been granted bail.
Ahli was admitted to bail in the sum of GH¢50,000 with two sureties by the Circuit Court presided over by Samuel Bright Acquah on Monday.
This was after his counsel had put in a bail application for him.
The matter has been adjourned to February 27, 2025.
Ahli’s accomplice Kofi Okyere Sorkpa had earlier been sentenced to five years imprisonment by the same court after pleading guilty to causing unlawful damage to five vehicles at Ghana’s Parliament Car Park on December 20, 2024.
Sorkpa was sentenced to three years on the charge of conspiracy.
Sentences were to run concurrently.
Ahli, since his arrest, had been in lawful custody because the Police held that the charge sheet was defective and would amend it.
Superintendent of Police Augustine Yirenkyi narrated that Sorkpa and Ahli who were preachers from Kasoa, sneaked into the Parliament House car park on December 18, 2024, at around 1100 hours.
Sorkpa, carrying a handbag with an earth chisel, used the tool to damage the windscreens of two Toyota Landcruiser vehicles, two Toyota Camry saloon cars and a Toyota Rav 4.
Ahli was reportedly seen praising Sorkpa for the damage.
Both accused admitted their involvement in crime during their caution statements to the Police, in the presence of an independent witness.
