Court remands accused robber
A man, who together with another on the run,
allegedly attacked and robbed a radio presenter of
his cash, mobile phones and other items valued at
about GH¢1,957, has been remanded in prison
custody by a Kumasi Circuit Court.

Richmond Pisah, 20, charged with conspiracy and
robbery, has pleaded not guilty.

He would make his next appearance in court on
Tuesday, February 10.

Police Chief Inspector Hannah Acheampong, told the
court presided over by Mr. William Boampong that
the incident happened on July 21, last year.

The accused and his fugitive accomplice, whose
name was only given as “The Game,” reportedly
attacked the victim, Frederick Afriyie, at the
Atonsu-Agogo lorry station at about 2030 hours and
fled with his cash, phones and other valuables.

The prosecution said a formal report was
subsequently made to the Police, and Pisah was
arrested during investigations.

A laptop computer bag, staff identification (ID)
and Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards,
belonging to the victim, were found in the room of
the accused person during a search.

Meanwhile, the police have launched a manhunt for
“The Game,” who is on their wanted list.
