An Accra Circuit Court on Wednesday denied a bail application for a painter accused of stealing electrical cables at the Bank of Ghana building at Ridge in Accra.

Ahmed Mohammed Lawal is accused of stealing assorted copper cables worth GH¢1,035,500.

He has denied the charges of unlawful entry and stealing.

At an Accra Circuit Court on Wednesday, Lawal's lawyer, Nii Martey Korley, applied for bail for his client, arguing that he was not a flight risk and had a fixed place of abode at Accra Newtown.
