Obolo was among the three persons arrested in the village of Seker, near Yeji, after a shooting incident that claimed the life of 21-year-old Philipa Frimpong, popularly known on social media as Yaa Baby.
Reports indicate that Yaa Baby's boyfriend, GH Kobby, known in private life as Hayford Boateng, accidentally pulled the trigger.
GH Kobby, Yaa Baby, Obolo and another individual whose name has been given as Michael Kabutey were on a social visit to Yeji, where the alleged shooter previously stayed for his community service while attending the University of Development Studies (UDS).
What was supposed to be a friendly social visit turned awry when GH Kobby fetched his firearm from their vehicle and loaded it in full view of others present, as per a witness account.
Before anyone could intervene, a gunshot rang out, fatally wounding Yaa Baby. She was rushed to the St. Mathias Hospital, where she died shortly after arrival.
Out of the three remanded into police custody after the fatal shooting, only Obolo has posted bail.
Before Obolo got out, scores of videos empathising and making jokes out of his situation popped up online.
In a recent video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Obolo, speaking with a soft voice, expressed his gratitude to Afia Schwarzenegger and others who rallied behind the campaign.
During the interaction, Obolo also expressed his fears about attending Yaa Baby's funeral.
According to him, the tension surrounding the young girl's death could cause her sympathisers to harm him despite his widely-reported innocence.
