The police initially arrested 12 persons in connection with the incident and eight out of the 12 were granted bail GH¢80,000 with two sureties each.
They were also made to sign a code of conduct and asked to report to the Nima Divisional Headquarters twice a week.
The remaining two pleaded not guilty to the charges of conspiracy to riot with weapons, rioting with weapons, and causing harm to two persons, FrimpongBoateng and Shaibu Abdul Razak.
