The Koforidua High Court has granted bail to Freddie Blay in the sum of GH₵800,000 with two sureties, both required to be Accra residents with valid Ghana Cards.
The decision follows a brief period in custody during which Mr. Blay reportedly suffered a health scare. He was rushed to a medical facility on March 17 after his blood pressure rose significantly, an incident aides attributed to the stress of his arrest and detention.
Mr. Blay had earlier been remanded by the Akropong Circuit Court over an alleged demolition dispute at Kitase. He is expected to reappear before the court on April 9, 2026.
His arrest followed the execution of a bench warrant in Accra on March 16. Police say the warrant was issued in April 2025 after he allegedly failed to honour multiple invitations and did not appear for a scheduled court hearing.
The case centres on a parcel of land Mr. Blay is said to have acquired in 1994. Prosecutors accuse him of ordering the demolition of a building under construction on the disputed property.
However, his legal team denies the allegations, insisting he only directed the clearing of a vacant plot in January 2026 to prevent it from becoming overgrown and unsafe.
They further argue that the matter is civil rather than criminal, noting that although the complainant previously won a ruling at the High Court, that decision is currently under appeal.
