The woman at the center of the fake pregnancy saga in Takoradi, Josephine, was granted bail a week ago, on September 27, following her appearance in court, charged with deceiving a public officer contrary to section 251 of the Criminal Offences Act, and publishing false news with the intent of causing fear and panic.
She has since denied both charges and was granted bail by the circuit court in Takoradi to the sum of GH¢50,000 with two sureties, one of which was to be justified.
Mr. Fiifi Buckman, one of a team of lawyers defending Josephine, told Graphic Online meeting the bail bond was problematic.

But some good news hit Josephine at about 2:30pm on Monday, October 4, as she was released after the police confirmed the value and status of a property being used as surety for her bail.
Meanwhile, her whereabout is not known at the moment as a visit by Graphic Online to her mother’s home in Takoradi caught her friends by surprise. They were not even aware that she had been released.
Josephine will reappear in court on October 14, 2021.
