As part of his bail conditions, he is also expected to report to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) on Mondays and Fridays.
Apostle Kwabena Owusu has been in police custody for the past two weeks.
He was arrested early in June while granting a live interview to Accra-based Hot FM for allegedly threatening to kill the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission Jean Mensah if she continued with plans to compile a new voters’ register for the 2020 general election.
A search conducted on him upon arrest, according to the facts of the case presented in court, revealed among other things, a black wallet containing GHS29, two suspected aphrodisiac medicine labelled Mr. Q, one pack of brown smoking XL paper, two brown wrapped substance of dried leaves suspected to be narcotic plants.
