Two persons have been put before an Accra Circuit Court for allegedly robbing a mechanic of his motorbike at gunpoint at Ablorman, near Amasaman in Accra.<\/p>\n
Luck, however, eluded the robber, Joseph Ahorde, a mason, who left his mobile phone at the scene, and same was used to trace him at his hideout in Ablorman, near Amasaman.<\/p>\n
Ahorde then confessed to committing the robbery with Sulley Karim, a mechanic who was armed with a pump action gun on the day of the incident.<\/p>\n
Charged with conspiracy to rob and robbery, Ahorde and Karim have pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n
The court presided over by Mrs. Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku, remanded them into Police custody to reappear on January 12.<\/p>\n
Chief Inspector Kwabena Adu, prosecuting, told the court that the complainant, Joseph Zormelo, is a motor rider residing at Obeyeyie whiles Ahorde and Karim reside at Ablorman.<\/p>\n
Chief Inspector Adu said On December 24, this year, Zomerlo who was in charge of the motorbike with registration M-17-GR4840 was asked by Ahorde to transport him to Ablorman, near Amasaman.<\/p>\n
Prosecution said on reaching a section of the road, Ahorde asked the complainant to stop which he did.<\/p>\n
Not quite long, prosecution said Karim emerged from the bush with a pump action gun and ordered Mr. Zormelo to surrender his motor bike.<\/p>\n
Prosecution said both accused persons snatched the motorbike and sped off. Complainant raised an alarm and witnesses came to the scene and a mobile phone belonging to Ahorde was found at the scene.<\/p>\n
According to prosecution, the mobile which had the picture of Ahorde on the screen was used to trace Ahorde and he was picked up at Ablorman.<\/p>\n
Prosecution said during interrogation, Ahorde admitted committing the offence with Karim.<\/p>\n
Ahorde then led the Police to the house of Karim where the motorbike and pump action gun used in committing the crime were retrieved.<\/p>\n
