From Collins Agyekum-Gyasi, Kumasi.
A KUMASI Circuit Court, presided over by Mr Emmanuel Amo-Yartey, has sentenced an unemployed man to 10 years jail term for unlawful entry to another person’s premises.
Tuffik Moro, 18, was convicted on his own plea for taking away some phones, DVD, LCD and other electrical gadgets valued over several hundreds of cedis.
The prosecution, led by Chief Inspector Comfort Baffour-Kyei told the court that on August 1, 2010, a witness in the case woke up at about 2.10 am to go out and urinate only to see two young men scale the fence wall.
Moments after raising alarm the tenants arrested the convict, Moro, while his accomplice managed to outwit his pursuers.
When a search was conducted on Moro a Nokia, Sonny Errickson, and LG cell phones totalling over GH¢125. 00 were found on him. Again, another search from a Benz car with registration number GE 170 X packed in the yard revealed that a car radio and its booster had disappeared.
Moro allegedly admitted the offences during interrogation but denied being to the complainant’s residence to steal any car tape and booster.
Madam Baffuor-Kyei told the court that the convict in his caution statement mentioned one Kofi Adwuo as his accomplice but failed to assist the police to cause his arrest.
The convict is alleged to have stated that he and Adwuo went to Kotei, a suburb of Kumasi, and on their return at about 12 mid-night they reached ‘a certain house’ where his accomplice asked him to wait and keep watching.
