Two Jailed for Stealing Motorbike Worth GH¢10,500

The Circuit Court at Dansoman has sentenced two young men to prison for stealing a motorbike valued at GH¢10,500.

The convicts, Abdul Aziz Osman, 20, unemployed and Abdul Aziz Mohammed, 22, also unemployed, were sentenced by the court presided over by Her Honour Nancy Teiko Searyoh after they pleaded guilty to charges of stealing and conspiracy to commit crime.

On the charge of stealing, the court heard that on February 11, 2026 at about 10:00 a.m. at Mallam, in Accra, and within the jurisdiction of the court the two dishonestly appropriated an unregistered red Sonlink motorbike valued at GH¢10,500, belonging to one Agnes Tagoe, a self-employed woman residing near the Gbawe Guinness Depot.

The accused persons are residents of Kwashieman in Accra.

Prosecutors told the court that on March 11, 2026, the complainant returned home at about 1:00 p.m. and discovered that her motorbike was missing.

She reported the matter to the police the same day.

On March 12, 2026 the Surveillance Unit of the CID Headquarters informed the investigator that the accused persons had been arrested, together with the stolen motorbike.

They were subsequently handed over to the Gbawe-Lafa Police Station. In their caution statement, the accused admitted the offence and stated that they were on their way to Agbogbloshie, when they were arrested by the surveillance team.

After investigations, they were charged with stealing and conspiracy to commit crime. When they appeared before the court on March 17, 2026 both pleaded guilty.

In sentencing, Her Honour Nancy Teiko Searyoh said the court took into account the ages of the convicts and the fact that the stolen motorbike had been retrieved in good condition.

Abdul Aziz Osman (A1) was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment on the count of stealing and six months on the count of conspiracy, while Abdul Aziz Mohammed (A2) was sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment on the stealing charge and 12 months on the conspiracy charge.
