Webkid was reported to have been held at the Osu Police Station.

According to reports, following his appearance in court today, he was granted bail.

Legal counsel for WebKid revealed that the Accra High Court has granted him bail in the sum of GH¢100,000 with two sureties.

He disclosed that they are currently working on the necessary documentation to facilitate his release today after he was picked up weeks ago over alleged cyberbullying incidents.

Also, a video which has gone viral on social media captured moments as the father of WebKid broke down in tears at the Accra High Court after bail was granted to his son.

Shatta Wale was also spotted alongside Sammy Flex at court as he came in with his team to support a staunch fan of his, Shatta Movement.

Earlier, Shatta Wale issued a stern warning to the Ghana Police Service following the arrest of Webkid.

According to Shatta Wale, he and his fans would not hesitate to stage a protest on the streets of Accra if Webkid is not released.

In a post shared on X on May 8, 2026, Shatta Wale boldly stated, “If dem no release Webkid we go enter street erh? 💪🩸.

Shatta movement Disciples wait for my signal …. It’s about time we show certain ppl what discipline is 💪⚡️🩸”.

Meanwhile, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a Private legal practitioner and activist, has once again fumed at Ghana’s judicial system.

The private legal practitioner argued that Ghana’s judiciary acts as a weapon fashioned against the poor.

He cited the continued detention of social media blogger Webkid, who was arrested on May 7, 2026, over allegations of the publication of false news.

According to Oliver Barker-Vormawor, bail in Ghana has become a weapon, noting that a civilised country treats bail as the rule and remand as the exception.

The private legal practitioner also highlighted that not a single politician accused of gargantuan corruption was denied bail.

In a post shared on his X page on June 17, 2026, Barker-Vormawor wrote, “Webkid was arrested on 7th May 2026. On the publication of false news and incidental charges. Over 1 month later, he is still in custody. Publication of false news oo.

You dey cry over Partey. The real problems for this country Dey ground.

I keep asking, why does something so routine like Bail become a weapon in Ghana?  What kind of justice system kraa be this?

Every civilised country treats bail as the rule and remand as the exception. An exception that is exceptionally applied. Nanso….

We talk saaa but still. What personal joy or benefit do you derive as a judge when you deny bail over petty nonsense?

The funny thing is that not a single politician accused of gargantuan corruption was denied bail.

Our judiciary acts sometimes as a weapon fashioned against the poor. To be safe in this country, you have to steal from Ghana”.
