Businessman accused of stealing items worth GH¢36,100 remanded

Abubakar Sadiq, alias Usher, has denied breaking into a house to steal items that included a television set, sound system, wax prints, lace fabrics, ladies’ bags and shoes, cellular phones, wristwatches and perfumes, among others.

Meanwhile, a bench warrant has been issued for the arrest of Kofi Sadiq, alias “Survival” and Eric Oduro, alias Oduro, who are both suspected of receiving the stolen items and are currently on the run.

Police Chief Inspector Christian Amartey told the court that the complainant, Aisha Saeed, a hairdresser and the accused persons lived at Pakyi No

A witness who saw Sadiq and his accomplices take the items informed the complainant, who returned to Pakyi No.2 after her trip to confirm the story.

According to Chief Inspector Amartey, the complainant went to the police to make a report and Sadiq was tracked down to his home, but he managed to escape arrest.

Chief Inspector Amartey stated that on her way home following Sadiq’s arrest, the complainant saw her center table in Oduro’s shop at Pakyi No.2, identified it as hers, and Oduro returned it to her, which she subsequently took to the police station.

The prosecution said that Kofi, who bought the complainant’s mattress from Sadiq, was arrested and confirmed in his cautionary statement that he had the item in his possession.
