Ekow Black has been granted bail in the sum of GH¢30,000 by a court following allegations that he assaulted his girlfriend.
According to court proceedings, Ekow Black was arraigned on charges related to an alleged physical assault involving his partner. The incident, which reportedly occurred after a disagreement between the two, was brought before the court after a formal complaint was lodged.
The court granted the accused GH¢30,000 bail with conditions, including a requirement to report to the police as directed and to refrain from any form of contact that could interfere with ongoing investigations. He is expected to reappear before the court on a later date as the case continues.
Prosecutors indicated that investigations into the alleged assault are ongoing and that further details would be presented during subsequent hearings. Ekow Black, through his legal representatives, has not yet made a detailed public statement regarding the allegations. The charges arise from a widely circulated video that surfaced online, purportedly showing the content creator physically attacking a woman. The footage quickly went viral, triggering widespread public condemnation and prompting swift action from law enforcement authorities.
Following the circulation of the video, the Ghana Police Service arrested the suspect as investigations commenced. Police have also indicated that they are probing allegations that Danful threatened to publish explicit images of the woman involved, an offence that may fall under sextortion laws.
According to police sources, Ekow Black was apprehended on 15 January 2026 during an intelligence-led operation conducted by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Cyber Vetting Team.
The case has drawn public attention, particularly on social media, reigniting conversations about domestic violence and accountability. Advocacy groups have once again urged victims of abuse to speak out and seek legal protection when necessary.
As the legal process unfolds, the court has emphasized the importance of due process, reminding the public that the accused remains innocent until proven guilty.
