The Circuit Court in Accra has charged Blessed Godsbrain Smart, better known as Captain Smart, an outspoken Onua TV broadcaster.
Captain Smart, who was charged with Offensive Conduct Conducive to a Breach of Peace under section 207 of the Criminal Offences Act 1960 (Act 29) on Thursday, December 9, 2021, pled not guilty.
He has been admitted to bail in the sum of Hundred Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH₵ 100,000.00) with one surety to be justified.
As part of his bail conditions, he is to report to the police every Tuesday and Friday until the final determination of the case.
The case has been adjourned to January 11, 2022
The Nima Divisional Police Command last week arrested Captain Smart for making “some unsavoury pronouncements that hinge on peace and security”.
A statement from the National Media Commission (NMC) said Captain Smart called for “insurrection against the state of Ghana and its institutions” in a recent broadcast on Accra-based Onua FM.
