Ghanaians were pretty much shocked when news broke of the assault on a Graphic journalist by Baffour Gyan and a group of thugs, apparently angered by a question the journalist posed to Asamoah Gyan at a press conference the day before.
The Graphic reporter, Daniel Kenu, asked Asamoah about his position on rumours regarding his “involvement” in the Castro disappearance saga. The Stars skipper was quite furious over the question, and whilst he didn’t answer the assault of the journalist occurred the very next day.
Baffour Gyan and Samuel Anim Addo, Asamoah Gyan’s manager, were both arrested in connection to the case: and earlier today were granted bail by the Kumasi Circuit court hearing the case- the two are facing two counts of assault.
Reports indicate lawyers for the accused are seeking an out of court settlement, thus aside pleading with the judge for bail for their clients, also requested an adjournment of proceedings for the parties involved to work towards an amicable settlement.
The judge granted both pleas, issuing bail to Baffour Gyan and Anim Addo in the sum of GHc 30, 000 with two sureties. Proceedings were also adjourned until this Friday, September 12, 2014.
