An Accra Circuit Court, on Friday remanded\u00a0 Prophet Daniel Nkansah,\u00a0 flagbearer of the New Vision Party (NVP), in police custody until June 2,\u00a0 on\u00a0 a charge of robbery leveled against him, after turning down a bail application filed by his lawyer,<\/p>\n
The court in February this year, ordered the arrest of Prophet Nkansah who was said to be at large, for failing to appear before it.<\/p>\n
Prophet Nkansah and his son Daniel Boahene Nkansah Junior are being held on charges of conspiracy to commit crime, and five counts of robbery.<\/p>\n
The son, a student, who appeared before the court earlier, pleaded not guilty to the charges, at the court presided over by Mr Francis Obiri, is on bail.<\/p>\n
Prophet Nkansah has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit crime, and five counts of robbery.<\/p>\n
Prophet Nkansah, his son and 10 others, are said to have robbed five workers of XY Canis Majoris Company Limited, and taken away a sunny video camera, mobile phones, computers, cheque books, certificates, a driver\u2019s license and GH\u20a11,000.00.<\/p>\n
The complainants were Stephen Ped Andam, Geshon Essel, Billy Apeku Ken, Isaac Tetteh Korgbey and Emmanuel Nana Kwaku Badu.<\/p>\n
According to the prosecution, Mr Andam is the Chief Executive Officer of XY Majoris Company Limited located at Atico near Kaneshie.<\/p>\n
Mr Andam in December last year, rented four stores from Prophet Nkansah for a period of 10 years and paid GH\u00a2111,680 as rent advance.<\/p>\n
The prosecution said the company was now using three out of the four stores whilst Prophet Nkansah\u2019s son, Nkansah Junior occupied one of them.<\/p>\n
On February 1, Mr Andam and his workers approached Nkansah Junior as agreed with Prophet Nkansah to vacate the store to enable his workers to move in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After the meeting, a brawl ensued but after it Mr Andam and his workers resumed work in their offices.<\/p>\n
Nkansah Junior informed his father about the brawl. Prophet Nkansah therefore, went to the company\u2019s premises with a group of about 10 on board his (Prophet Nkansah\u2019s) pick up vehicle, armed with cutlasses and other implements, and attacked Mr Andam and five other workers.<\/p>\n
In the process, prosecution said, the accused persons and the group of men made away with Mr Andam\u2019s mobile phone, a computer with its charger, cheque books, an international driver’s license, one IPad and cash of GH\u00a255,000.00.<\/p>\n
They also took away Mr Essel\u2019s mobile phone and GH\u00a2500.00, whilst Mr Billy Ken Apeku had his phone, a computer and cash of GH\u00a2700.00 stolen.<\/p>\n
According to the prosecutor, they also took from Mr Korgbey, a computer and a Sony video camera and robbed Mr Emmanuel Nana Kweku Badu of his wallet containing GH\u00a21,000.00 with identity cards.<\/p>\n
The matter was reported to the Police,\u00a0 and Nkansah Junior was arrested on February 4, with a sonny video camera retrieved from him later.<\/p>\n
