Accra, May 24, GNA – An Accra Circuit Court on Wednesday remanded one Raymond Nyirenkyi, a labourer for alleged conspiracy and robbery.
Raymond was said to have conspired with another now at large to robbed one Noble Gbeleous Sleem of his Capital bank Speed pay voucher worth GH?35,420.00.
He pleaded guilty to the charge with explanation, but after the explanation the court entered a plea of not guilty for him.
He was, therefore, remanded to reappear on June 6.
Prosecuting Police Chief Inspector Kwabena Adu told the court that the complainant Chantel Arthur is a Branch Manager of Capital Bank of Ghana Limited at Tesano, while the accused person is a labourer living at Abelemkpe.
He said on May 16 at about 1100 hours, an employee of the Bank, whose job is to sell speed pay vouchers to account holders of the Bank, stepped out for his normal duty and on reaching a section near express Capital at Tesano, two young men on a motor bike snatched the envelop which contained GH?35,429.00 worth of speed pay voucher and sped off.
He said, however, on May 19, at about 11:00 hours, the accused person went to the Banking hall to open an account using a speed card with serial number of the missing cards, and was arrested and brought to Tesano police station.
The prosecution said upon interrogation, Raymond stated that the card was given to him by an unknown woman.
The accused when told to lead the police to his place of abode, he rather directed the police a white man’s house purported to be his, but eventually through intelligence gathering, the police were able to locate a Kiosk at Abelemkpe where the accused stays.
Police Chief Inspector Adu, said when a thorough search was conducted in the Kiosk, GH?33,140.00 worth of speed pay vouchers were retrieved from Raymond’s beddings.
