Despite this, the court maintained her existing bail conditions and adjourned the case to September 24th.

Reports suggest that during proceedings, Bawumia Ba reportedly knelt before the court and appealed for the conditions to be reviewed, citing her inability to provide a Ghana Card because she does not have one.

In related news, Reports suggest her re-arrest follows allegations of repeating offensive remarks against President John Dramani Mahama, despite having been granted bail in a similar case.

It will be recalled that Bawumia Ba, whose real name is Mahama Aminat, also known as Akosua Serwaa Minat, has been granted a ¢1 million bail.

At the Accra Circuit Court, Bawumia Ba was granted bail in the sum of GH¢1 million with two sureties, one of whom must be a civil servant earning not less than GH¢5,000 monthly.

As part of her bail conditions, Bawumia Ba is required to deposit her passport or Ghana Card with the police.

Also, she is expected to report regularly to investigators while the case is ongoing.

The development comes following her earlier arrest by the Ghana Police Service.
