An

while the convict is a barber and they both reside at Sowutuom Omanjor,
a suburb of Accra.

while the complainant was working with his taxi at night, the convict
together with his accomplice, now at large, bordered the taxi from
Sowutuom Mambo to Omanjor.
On reaching a section of the road at
Omanjor Roman Park, Amidu, sitting on the front passenger seat, pulled a
knife at the complainant and ordered him to surrender everything on
him.

danger, quickly obliged and gave Amidu his G-Seven mobile phone, the
wallet and an the GH¢ 180.00.

after succeeding in their evil act, took to their heels. On January 2,
the complainant went to a drinking spot within the Omanjor vicinity and
spotted his mobile phone with the sales girl, one Debora Asiedu. |
