1. – Kingsley Asiedu 

2. – Seth Coffie 

3. – Vera Gloria Louis 

4. – Nii Quaye Hammond 

5. – Dela Quarshie

17. – Otieku Alex 

18. – Raymond Sefa Boakye 

19. – Kallian Kofi Komashie

However, the prosecuting State Attorneys revealed that they had filed affidavits opposing the bail. Justice Arma-Tetteh expressed frustration at the State Attorneys for their absence during the previous bail application for 13 other protesters, noting that they claimed to be unaware of the current bail motion. 

The presiding judge directed the prosecution to serve the relevant documents to the lawyers representing the protesters, as they had not yet received any notification. The case has been adjourned to Wednesday, October 9, when both the remanded protesters and those on bail will have their cases heard at the Accra Circuit Court.
