An Accra Circuit Court has granted bail to five security operatives and two others accused of robbing a Deputy Director of Operations of a firm in Accra.
The accused individuals include Alex Anim, a 42-year-old National Security Operative stationed at Jubilee House, Ernest Amankwah, a 40-year-old police officer, and James Awinimari Adocta, a 42-year-old police officer who has been interdicted.
The others are Edwin Ansah, a 27-year-old military officer, Kelvin Prince Boakye, a 49-year-old National Security operative, Stephen Adu, a 44-year-old businessman, and one John, aka Na Today, who is currently at large.
Six out of the seven accused persons have been granted bail in the sum of GHC200,000 with three sureties, one to be justified.
The court ordered the accused persons to report once a week to the police and adjourned the matter to February 5, 2024. The charges include conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery, extortion, and possession of forged $100 bills.
The accused individuals had pleaded not guilty to the charges. The prosecution alleges that the accused, posing as security operatives, robbed the complainants of money during a foreign exchange deal.
