They are alleged to have stolen GHc4,000, mobile phones and an envelope containing albums and documents intended for the constituency elections.<\/p>\n
Reports indicate that they were contracted by Obeng Manu, the New Juaben South NPP organizer and one Justice Afful. Two of the robbery suspects are at large.<\/p>\n
The lawyer for the accused persons, Francis Poley, argued that his clients were not a threat to police investigations and, thus, qualified for bail.<\/p>\n
