The police arrested Owusu Bempah and four others on September 12 this year after they forcefully entered the home of one Patricia Oduro, popularly known as Nana Agradaa and threatening to kill her.

The police charged and put them before an Accra Circuit Court where they were remanded into police custody.

They were later granted bail in the sum of GH₵ 200,000.00 each, with two sureties.
