The court ordered that the bail be secured with two sureties, both to be justified.
Mr Kumi was arrested in Ghana in December 2025 following an indictment by United States authorities, who allege that he played a role in a romance scam network that defrauded elderly American victims of more than $8 million.
Several earlier attempts by the defence to secure bail were unsuccessful.
In March this year, the Gbese District Court dismissed a preliminary objection filed by Mr Kumi challenging the extradition proceedings initiated at the request of the United States.
In a ruling delivered at the time, the court, presided over by Anna Akosua Appiah Gottfried Anaafi Gyasi, held that the offences forming the basis of the extradition, particularly wire fraud, constitute extraditable offences under the 1931 treaty between Ghana and the United States.
Meanwhile, Mr Kumi has filed a separate suit against the Minister for the Interior and a number of investigative bodies, challenging the circumstances surrounding his arrest, detention and interrogation in December 2025.
The defendants in the suit include the Narcotics Control Commission, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Economic and Organised Crime Office and the Attorney-General.
His application for the enforcement of his fundamental human rights under Article 33 of the 1992 Constitution was filed at the Human Rights Division of the High Court.
He is seeking compensation of GH¢10 million for what he describes as violations of his constitutional rights.
The suit also challenges a statement attributed to the Economic and Organised Crime Office, which described him as a “notorious cyber-criminal” and publicly portrayed him as being involved in large-scale criminal activities and fraud without a conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction.
