 21-year-old man, Jeffery Johnson has ap­peared before an Accra Circuit Court for robbery and causing harm.

Johnson, during the robbery, allegedly stabbed Ebenezer Dapaah, the first complainant, on his right hand before robbing him of his phone and that of the second com­plainant, Rosemary Akorli.

The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against him.

The court presided over by Mrs Afia Owusua Appiah re­manded him into police custody to reappear on March 7, 2024.

On February 17, 2024, be­tween the hours of 1:00 am and 1:30 am, Johnson together with his accomplices, currently on the run, rode their motorbike to the

complainant’s house and met the first and second complainants.

The prosecution said in the process, Johnson stabbed Dapaah with a pair of scissors on his right hand and succeeded in robbing them of one iPhone X, one Huawei and an Itel phone all valued at GH¢4,200.

It said the complainants raised the alarm and folks in the area arrested Johnson, but his accom­plices fled with the motorbike.

The prosecution said the complainants identified John­son and handed him over to the Teshie Police Patrol Team.

A search conducted on the accused person revealed one Itel phone belonging to the complainant and the pair of scissors the accused person used in committing the rob­bery.
