DOVVSU Court Releases Coach Ibrahim Anyass on GHS 50,000 Bail; Trial Over Alleged Incident with Minor Continues

Coach Ibrahim Anyass has been granted bail by the DOVVSU Court in the ongoing case in which he is accused of unlawfully engaging in conduct involving a minor, identified as Ransford Owusu Ansah. The case, which has drawn significant public attention, continues to unfold as the legal process advances.

According to court proceedings, the judge set bail at GHS 50,000 with two sureties, allowing the accused to remain out of custody while the trial continues. The decision was made after the court considered the facts presented, the nature of the allegations, and the need to ensure the accused appears for all future hearings.

Court’s Bail Conditions

The court’s decision came with specific conditions intended to ensure transparency and accountability. These include:

- A GHS 50,000 bail bond

- Two sureties—both of whom must be approved by the court

- Mandatory appearance of the accused at every hearing

- Restrictions preventing any interference with the complainant or witnesses

These conditions are standard in cases of this nature, aimed at protecting the integrity of the judicial process while upholding the principle of presumption of innocence until proven guilty.

Background of the Case

The case was brought before the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) after a formal complaint was lodged involving the minor. Authorities initiated investigations, which led to the arrest and subsequent arraignment of Coach Anyass. While the case has sparked strong public reactions, the court continues to emphasize that all parties must respect due process and allow the legal system to determine the facts.

Next Steps in the Trial

The prosecution is expected to present evidence and witness testimonies in the coming hearings. The defense team will also have the opportunity to respond to all allegations as the trial progresses. The court has adjourned the case to a later date for further proceedings.

Public Interest and Safeguarding Concerns

Cases involving minors naturally attract high public concern. Child protection organizations and advocacy groups have called for calm and patience as the judicial process continues. Authorities also encourage responsible reporting to avoid misinformation and preserve the dignity and privacy of the child involved.

The granting of bail marks only one step in a broader legal process. As the case moves forward, the court is expected to examine all relevant facts before arriving at a final judgment. Stakeholders, including the general public, are urged to respect legal boundaries and allow justice to take its full course.
