Captain Smart denied committing the said offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prosecutor then pleaded with the court to allow them keep the \u2018Onua Maakye\u2019 host in police custody to enable them investigate the charges brought against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3news.com reported that in arguing for the state, the police prosecutor said Captain Smart would interfere with the investigations should the court deny the request of the police to keep him in custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He prayed the court to allow the police to detain him in lawful custody for at least seven (7) days to enable them complete their investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the legal team representing Captain Smart cited different cases to argue that since the popular broadcaster had earlier been granted bail by the Police and he had not interfered with their investigations, it was obvious that he would not do so should the court grant him bail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court denied the request and granted Smart bail in the sum of Hundred Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH\u20b5 100,000.00) with one surety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, he was told to report himself to the police station every Tuesday and Friday. The case was adjourned to January 11, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Captain Smart was arrested on Thursday, December 2, 2021, in what the police said he had made certain \u201cunsavoury pronouncements\u201d that hinges on the peace and security of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has since described his arrest as his \u201cpolitical matriculation\u201d and not perturbed about whether or not the arrest was politically motivated to intimidate him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
