Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Nkoranza North, Eric Amoateng, may be a free man today if he is able to meet his bail conditions.<\/p>\n

The former legislator spent the weekend at the Nima Police Station due to his inability to settle his bail bond.<\/p>\n

On Friday, an Accra Circuit Court granted him a GHC 200,000 bail with three sureties after he was charged for possessing a forged passport.<\/p>\n

Mr. Amoateng was taken into custody on Thursday upon his arrival from the United States of America (USA) where he served a 10-year jail term for drug related offences.<\/p>\n

A family source who spoke to Citi News<\/strong> expressed optimism that the bail condition will be met today.<\/p>\n
