Accra, July 17, GNA – Three persons have been
given a GH¢20,000.00 bail with one surety each by an Accra Circuit Court for
allegedly beating up a taxi driver.
All the three sureties must be public officers
earning not less than GH¢700.00.
Ato Donkor, David Nuguatey and Kofi Awuni
pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit crime and causing unlawful harm.
They are expected back in Court on July 30.
Police Chief Inspector Francis Tassan told the
Court presided over by Mr Emmanuel Essandoh that Nuguatey, 32 is a driver
whereas Donkor, 31 and Awuni, 27 are mechanic apprentices.
Abib Annas, the victim is a taxi driver,
living at Amasaman whilst the accused lives at Lapaz, all suburbs of Accra.
Prosecution said on July 3, at about
2000 hours, Annas had closed from work and was heading home when the BWM saloon
car the accused were travelling in stopped suddenly on reaching
Shiashie-Airport.
The taxi hit it but without any damages
caused, Chief Inspector Tassan explained.
Donkor, Nuguatey and Awuni got out of their
car and attacked Annas, beating him severely and in the process led to a
dislocation in Annas’ knee.
The Prosecution said that fortunately for
Annas, the joint Military/Police patrol team chanced on the incident where they
arrested the three accused.
He said Annas who could not walk was rushed to
the 37 Military Hospital for treatment and a formal complaint was lodged with
the police.
After investigations the accused were charged
and put before Court.
