The Agona Swedru District Court has granted two students of the Swedru School of Business (SWESBUS) bail after they were captured in a viral video allegedly assaulting a student of the Obrachire Senior High Technical School.
The two SWESBUS students identified as Benedict Appiah and Bilal Mamid, appearing before the court on March 11, 2026, were granted bail of GH¢10,000 each with two sureties.
In court, the two were charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit the crime of assault and assault, but both pleaded not guilty.
His Worship Victor Kusi presiding over the case adjourned the case to April 17, 2026, for the next hearing.
