According to Inspector Nkansah, on August 30, 2023, around 12 noon, Tajir Njadi unlawfully entered the room of Mr. Saja Larpi at Damanko in the Nkwanta North District, Oti Region, and absconded with the mobile phone.

A vigilant witness observed the theft in progress and raised an alarm, which led to the convict’s apprehension. Subsequent investigations confirmed Tajir Njadi’s culpability in the theft, resulting in his conviction.

The prosecution also informed the court that the convict had a track record of criminal activities and was a habitual thief who had been causing distress to Damanko residents with his thefts.

Consequently, they urged the court to impose a penalty to serve as a deterrent to others.
