Chief Inspector Abraham Ayitey, prosecuting, stated that the complainant, Francis Arhin, a commercial motor rider from Bawdie in the Wassa Amenfi East Municipality, parked his unregistered Haojin motorbike at home on the night of October 19, 2024. The following morning, he discovered it was missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On October 27, 2024, around 2:00 a.m., Adu was spotted riding the stolen motorbike in Wassa Bawdie. He was apprehended and handed over to the police. The complainant was called to the station, where he identified the bike as his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adu\u2019s sentence of one day imprisonment, alongside a fine of GH\u00a28,400, reflects the court\u2019s effort to impose a penalty while considering his guilty plea and cooperation. However, his inability to pay the fine would result in a seven-year imprisonment with hard labour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
