Gossips24TV's Clement Asamoah Yeboah reported that his lawyers called on the court to grant him bail in accordance with the Accra High Court’s decision in the Abu Trica case.

Yusif’s lawyers reportedly said it was unfair for him to remain incarcerated as an alleged accomplice while the main suspect remained free.

Clement Asamaoh Yeboah added that Yusif’s lawyers also said he was not a flight risk as he returned to Ghana when he heard he was being sought by law enforcement, while he remained a productive member of society with a job and residence.

However, the prosecution reportedly asked the court to deny bail, arguing that he could not prove his source of income and was renting rather than owning a home.

The prosecution also reportedly challenged the claim that Yusif was not a flight risk, said that he returned to Ghana due to challenges with his visa, and that if those did not exist, there was no guarantee he would have returned to Ghana.

The court ultimately sided with the prosecution, denying Daniel Yusif bail.

Below is the YouTube video with details of Daniel Yusif’s court appearance.
