The Kwadaso Circuit Court has remanded three persons in connection with the attack on fire officers at the Racecourse Market on Monday.

The accused, 18-year-old Solomon Anaba, 21-year-old Lamamia Ishmael and 18-year-old Akongoli Adoko were arrested for assaulting a fire crew who were responding to an outbreak which swept through a section of the Racecourse Market.

The accused have been charged with Conspiracy to commit assault and assault on public officers.

The prosecution led by ASP Jonas Newlove Adjei prayed the court to remand the accused to enable police ample time to investigate the matter.

The Court presided over by His Honor Stephen Kumi, remanded the accused into Police custody to reappear on 26th March, 2024

The fire which started at about 1 am on Monday swept through a section of the Racecourse Market where Millers operate.
