A 23-year old dispatch rider, who allegedly robbed a student of her iPhones valued at GH¢2,100 has been remanded by an Accra Circuit Court.
Lord Mensah was said to have used force and threat of harm on the student to steal the said phones.
Charged with conspiracy to commit crime and robbery, Mensah pleaded not guilty.
The Court, presided over by Mr Isaac Addo, remanded himin police custody to reappear on November 27, 2023.
Meanwhile his accomplices, Nana, Black, Emma and Malouda are currently at large.
The facts as presented by Police Chief Inspector, Jonas Lawer were that the complainant, Ria Ruth Effe Arthur, is a student and resides at South La Estates while the accused person was a resident of Agbogbloshie, Accra.
The prosecution said on November 7, 2023, the accused person and two others were sighted on a motor bike with another two on a different motor bike.
The riders went to La and on seeing the complainant at a cosmetics shop near the Sergeant Adjetey-La area, two of the robbers, armed with a jack knife attacked the complainant with threat of harm if she failed to hand over her mobile phones to them.
He said the complainant, upon fears of being harmed by the robbers who were apparently armed and intended to carry out their threats, surrendered her iPhone
6s valued at GH¢1,200.00 and iPhone 5 valued GH₵900.00 to them.
The prosecution said having succeeded in their mission, two of the robbers now at large, jumped on the accused person’s motorbike and sped off with them.
It said the complainant raised the alarm where witnesses gave them a hot chase and succeeded in pushing them on the ground.
The prosecution said Nana and Black escaped with the phones but the accused, Mensah, was captured and handed over to the Police.
It said during investigations, a relative of the accused person retrieved the cell phones from Agbogbloshie, a locality in Accra and handed them over to the Police.—GNA
The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
