Peter Amuzu, also known as Master Pee, and Isaac Brena Eshun, aka Young, took away the banker’s money in various currencies and other cards.

Amuzu and Eshun earlier denied the charges of conspiracy and robbery.

When the matter was called, the accused persons, through their counsel, told the court they wanted to change their plea from not guilty to guilty.

The court presided over by Kwabena Kodua Obiri-Yeboah, retook their pleas.

A third accomplice, Ibrahim Mohammed, will stand trial for charges of abetment of crime and dishonestly receiving.

Police say Mohammed bought a pistol for the two convicts to commit the crime, and he received the complainant’s vehicle.

He has denied the offences.

The prosecution, led by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Emmanuel Haligah, said the complainant (name withheld) was a bunker residing at East Legon Christian Centre.

The first accused person, Amuzu, claimed to be a steel bunder and was a resident of American House, East Legon, he said, while the second accused, Eshun, was a driver residing at Takoradi.

The third accused, Mohammed, aka King Dawa, was a businessman residing at Gururgu, Tamale.

The court heard that they planned to embark on a robbery expedition when they got out.

Prosecution said the same day, Eshun took the car to Tamale on the instructions of Amuzu to sell it to Mohammed, who also agreed to buy it.

Mohammed made a cash transfer of GHC10,000 to Eshun’s mobile money wallet No. 0550571605 as part payment.

Mohammed then removed the registered number plate from the car to conceal its identity.

On August 22, 2024, Eshun was arrested at Dansoman, and a search conducted on him led to the retrieval of one gold-coloured iPhone 14 ProMax. Samsung Galaxy A15, air pods, cash in the sum of GH¢18,000. $1014,000 Uganda shillings, 400 Rwanda francs, 550 Jamaican dollars, and other personal effects of the complainant.

Eshun admitted the offence and mentioned Amuzu as his accomplice.

The prosecution said on August 23, 2024, Amuzu was arrested at American House, East Legon, where an iPhone 13 Pro belonging to the complainant’s friend, Mansour Inusah, a witness in the case, was retrieved.

Amuzu admitted the offence and mentioned Mohammed as his old friend in Tamale whom he instructed Eshun to send the car to.

On August 24, 2024, Mohammed was arrested in Tamale in possession of the complainant’s Mercedes Benz and a Toyota Fortuner 4X4 with registration number GX 2735-19.

He told the police that he bought the Toyota Fortuner 4X4 also from Amuzu and his friend Kwame in February 2024.

Investigations later revealed that the owner of the Toyota Fortuner 4X4 was shot and robbed by Amuzu and his accomplice, Kwame, in another robbery case at Lakeside Estate.

During the investigations, Mohammed admitted that he gave Amuzu an amount of GH¢7,000 to be used to procure a gun, which was used in the robbery, and four days later, he was offered the stolen Mercedes Benz at the cost of GH¢300,000, out of which he made the part payment of GH¢10,000.

The prosecution said on August 31, 2024, Eshun and Mohammed led the police to a location at Techiman where they had dumped the complainant’s personal effects.

The German passport, ATM cards, Ghana Card and other documents belonging to the complainant were retrieved from the scene.

Efforts were being made to apprehend Kwame, who is said to be in possession of the weapon used in committing the crime.

This was after the High Court presided over by Justice Lydia Osei Marfo was of the considered view that, the accused when granted bail would likely not appear to stand trial.

According to the Court, even though the Court has a discretionary power to grant bail, that discretion must be exercised in a manner that will be of interest to the society and the victims involved.

“I am of the considered opinion that looking at the nature of the accusations against the accused and the nature of evidence….I am inclined to believe that he will not avail him to stand trial when granted bail,” Justice Marfo ruled.

While refusing the bail application, the Court assured both parties of an expeditious trial in the matter.

Justice Marfo also said the accused should remain in custody.

In Court on Thursday, Lawyers of the accused led by Paul Assibi Abariga while moving the bail application, said, his client will avail himself to stand trial when granted bail.

“The accused shall always appear to stand trial at all time. He has no motivation of any incentive or power to decide not to appear before your Ladyship,” he submitted.

Ms. Amanda Awadey, a Senior State Attorney while opposing to the bail application said, the accused is a flight risk and would not avail himself to stand trial when granted bail.

“There is overwhelming evidence in support of our case against the applicant (Accused). The applicant upon his arrest confessed to robbing the victims and various robbery scenes and he further identified himself in a CCTV photograph from various scenes,” the Senior State Attorney submitted.

According to reports, the case has been adjourned to May 21 while the Prosecution has been directed to file the second batch of their disclosures.

Christopher Amolee pleaded guilty simpliciter on his first day in court to the charge of robbery contrary to section 149 of Act 29/60.

He also prayed for the court to have mercy on him and for his master to forgive him and accept him back since he had no place to go.

He also told the court that he does not have anybody—either a father or a mother, but only his master whom he had offended before he was sentenced.

The convict who appeared without legal representation after his conviction, had a lawyer who was acting as a friend to the court to pray the court to tamper justice with mercy and offer him the minimum punishment.
