Lawyers for Freddie Blay plan to appeal a court decision. A Circuit Court in Akropong ordered that he be kept in police custody.

They will file this appeal at the High Court in Koforidua. This is a legal step to challenge the earlier ruling.

Freddie Blay is the former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party.

The reason for his remand has not been detailed by the court.

His legal team believes the decision to remand him can be overturned.

The appeal process will now begin at a higher court.
