He was granted bail by the Headteacher of his school, after the police had initially refused him bail.
The teacher told Citi News that his only supposed crime was that, he notified the DCE of some discrepancies in the President’s ‘Accounting to the People’ address regarding some construction projects at Ekumfi-Esuehyia, also in the Central Region.
According to Mr. Hammond, the DCE was offended by his prying and first lodged a complaint at the Ekumfi District Assembly that he had insulted him.
“I was in the class room teaching and I saw two police men approaching the school. The whole thing was that my DCE had reported me to police that I had insulted him so I should go to the police station with them,” he said.
