A Kumasi Circuit Court, presided over by Mr Justice Emmanuel Amoh-Yartey, has ordered that Haruna Alhassan, a 29-year-old porter, who stole a taxi-cab at gun-point, be kept in jail for 50 years in hard labour.<\/p>\n

He pleaded not guilty to the offence.<\/p>\n

Police Chief Inspector Comfort Baffour-Kyei told the court that the complainant, Joseph Koomson, is a taxi driver and lives at Kwadaso, a suburb of Kumasi.<\/p>\n

On December 23, last year, he picked the convict and two other accomplices, now on the run, in his Opel Astra taxi cab from Adum to Santasi at about 2000 hours.<\/p>\n

The prosecution said mid-way through the journey, at a spot close to the Miklin Hotel, Alhassan pulled a locally manufactured pistol, while his two colleagues drew pairs of scissors and ordered the driver to surrender the ignition key.<\/p>\n

Koomson obliged to save his life and the robbers sped off.<\/p>\n

Police Chief Inspector Baffour-Kyei said the complainant reported the incident to the police and the information was relayed to the patrol teams.<\/p>\n

The police succeeded in intercepting the stolen vehicle and arrested Alhassan.<\/p>\n

His accomplices, however, managed to escape.<\/p>\n
