J.B. Danquah case: Lawyers for 'Sexy Don Don' to apply for bail on March 25 - MyJoyOnline

In the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the case of J.B. Danquah, defense attorneys representing Daniel Asiedu, also known as "Sexy Don Don," are set to file a bail application on March 25. Asiedu faces charges related to the alleged murder of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, J.B. Danquah-Adu, who was tragically killed in February 2016.

The court previously denied bail requests for Asiedu at various stages of the trial, citing concerns over the severity of the allegations and potential flight risk. His lawyers argue that he deserves a fair chance to prepare his defense outside of custody, emphasizing his right to liberty under Ghanaian law.

Asiedu's trial has garnered significant public interest and scrutiny, with many viewing it as a critical test for Ghana's judicial system in handling high-profile murder cases. The upcoming bail hearing will be pivotal in determining whether he remains in detention while awaiting further proceedings or is granted temporary release pending trial developments.
