An Accra High Court panel released Bright Alan Debrah Fosu on 2.5 million cedi bail while his appeal against a death sentence for high treason proceeds through Ghana's judicial system. Justices Eugene Nyadu Nyante, Ruby Ayitey, and Kizita Naa Koowa Quarshie imposed conditions requiring property justification, passport surrender, travel restrictions, and placement on a stop list during the November 10 hearing.
Fosu received his capital punishment conviction alongside five co-defendants on January 24, 2024, for conspiring to overthrow President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's administration in 2021. His legal team argues the original judgment violated common and statutory law while asserting strong prospects for appellate success. Fellow convicts Donya Kafui, Yohanes Zikpi, WO2 Esther Saan Dekuwine, and L/Cpl Ali Solomon remain incarcerated as defense attorneys prepare case records for Supreme Court transmission.
