The former Executive Director of the
National Service Scheme (NSS), Alhaji Alhassan Imoro has been granted
a 90 million Ghana cedi bail by an Accra Circuit Court. Alhaji Imoro has been
accused of allegedly stealing 86.9 million Ghana cedis belonging to the state
and has been in the custody of the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) for
over a month. The
request for bail by lawyers for Alhaji Imoro was granted after investigators
failed to meet the ultimatum given by presiding Judge Justice Francis Obiri for
the state to finish their investigations during the last hearing. Earlier, the Court
declined the bail request
by lawyers of Alhaji Imoro bail when he appeared before the Court on November
3. The court ordered the BNI to allow Imoro’s relatives and lawyers, to have
access to him between the hours of 8 and 4 when he was remanded for the second
time. It also ordered that Imoro should be given special diet on request and
also, be sent to the Police Hospital for medical attention. During his
appearance in court today, November, 17, Imoro was granted bail with conditions
to provide three justified sureties with landed properties worth GhȻ1million
collectively. Imoro has also been ordered to surrender his passport to the BNI
and also to avail himself to the BNI every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and any
other day that the BNI needs him.
