Akyem Swedru (E/R), Aug. 9, GNA – The
Akyem Swedru Circuit Court presided by Mr Alexander Oworea has adjourned trial
against one Abena Ohenewa, a Purchasing of Clerk of Nyonkopa Buying Limited
accused of stealing 9 cocoa bags to August 17, this year.

The court on January 20, this year,
ordered the witness, Mr Emmanuel Gyasi, the Oda District Manager of Nyonkopa
Buying Limited, to produce exhibits of nine bags of cocoa beans suspected to
have beeen stolen by Abena Ohenewa on the next adjourned date on July 23, but
he failed to appear together with the items on Thursday.

Chief Inspector Sallas Fabian, Prosecuting,
said it would be recalled that, the complainant Mr Kwabena Oppong, a Purchasing
Clerk of Adwumapa Buying Company at Akyem Batabi on November 11, 2016 reported
to the Oda Police that nine bags of cocoa beans had been stolen from his shed
at Akyem Batabi in the Eastern Region.

Chief Inspector Fabian said the
complainant indicated that he suspected a group of young men who had stolen the
bags of the cocoa beans and had sold same to Abena Ohenewa.

He said during police investigation
on that same day 25 bags of cocoa were found in the shed of Ohenewa, and the
complainant identified nine of the bags as his, and when the suspect was
questioned of her source of the bags of the cocoa beans she could not explain.

Chief Inspector Fabian said the
accused records book also showed that between November 4, and 6, 2016, she made
purchases of six bags of cocoa beans which were short of 19 bags and therefore
the Police arrested her and conveyed the bags of cocoa beans to the Police
Station.

He said after the Police
investigation Ohenewa was charged and arraigned.
