From George Ernest Asare, Kumasi.
The timely intervention by some sympathisers at Anyinam, a Kumasi suburb, prevented two young men from enjoying a booty of GH¢80.00 they had allegedly taken from a Kumasi based taxi driver at knife point.
The two, Michael Bonsu, who claimed to be a mechanic and Robert Morgan, unemployed, are currently in prison custody, following their arrest by the sympathisers .
They pleaded not guilty to the charge of robbery when they appeared before a Kumasi Circuit Court on March 17, 2010 and they were remanded into prison custody.
Briefing the court, a State Attorney, Mr Emmanuel Lawrence Otoo- Boison, said the complainant, is a driver who resides at Aputuogya in the Bomsomtwe district of Ashanti Region.
He said around 3 a.m on March 4, 2010, the suspects hired the complainant’s taxi from Santasi, a Kumasi suburb with the intention of going to Anyinam and whilst on the way pulled a knife, attacked the driver and succeeded in robbing him of an amount of GH¢80.00 being his sales at the time.
He said moments after they had taken to their heels after the attack, the complainant raised an alarm which attracted a number of sympathisers who chased and arrested the suspects.
