"This is a letter that the court sent to the police asking them to bring Gregory Afoko to bail. This was an order that the police had flouted with impunity and was cited for contempt of court. The fact that you are a young man in this country does not mean that you are a fool. The fact that you are a member of the NPP does not mean that you have to believe everything Kweku Baako says. Kwaku Baako, at this age, is starting to fight for Ghana and our democracy. You fought very hard for the NPP. Congratulations!!! Now is the time to fight for Ghana too! ", He said in a message posted by MyNewsGh.com.

One of the lawyers representing the defendant, Nana Yaw Osei, however, reacted to Kweku Baako's statements about Peace Fm in Accra.

"The documents you read in PEACE FM's Kokrokoo broadcast on 17/7/19 were a one-sided interaction of busy bodies between the police and the Land Commission. It is the exclusive duty of the court (the registrar) to ensure that defendants who have been released on bail are eligible for bail under a court of competent jurisdiction unless if the court, for whatever reason, orders the police or any other person or organization to do so, "he said.

According to him, the court that granted bail to Gregory Afoko did not ask the police to carry out his task and said that the police who tried to carry out a search were striving on their own.

"Kweku Baako, for your information, that is why at one of the hearings of the contempt application still pending before the court (Commercial Court 3), the judge realized that the court itself had concluded its own independent research and had ordered the police to stop with the so-called research at the Land Commission "

Explaining further, he said: "Kweku Baako, there are genuine matches at the registry indicating that Gregory Afoko has fulfilled all the bail conditions and the registry has written to the police to inform them that Gregory had fulfilled the conditions of release "
