Police Chief Inspector Joseph Lartey, the prosecutor, told the court that Sampson Arhin, 28, a taxi driver, lives at Ankobra in the Prestea Huni-Valley Municipality was the complainant.

He said the accused person and the wife Sheilla Omano, who was currently on the run, are residents of Asebu- Ankromah in the Central Region.

On March 5, 2023, around 1800 hours, the couple agreed to travel to Prestea and to rob a taxi from any driver they chanced upon.

According to the prosecutor, the same day at about 2130 hours the accused and the wife who arrived at Prestea to carry out the operation, spotted the complainant in his taxicab with registration number AS 9230-22 and signaled him to stop.

The two then hired the services of the complainant from Prestea to Dumasi to visit a friend, but on arrival around 2230 hours, Omano made a phone call and later told Arhin that the person they came to visit had left to Bogoso so they should proceed to the said place.

Chief Inspector Lartey said in the course of the journey, Omano sat on the front passenger’s seat, while the accused who sat directly behind the driver attacked him around a rubber plantation and smeared powered pepper on his face.

He said the complainant lost control of the vehicle and the engine went off and the accused pushed him out of the vehicle and drove to an unknown destination.

On March 6, 2023, the complainant reported the incident to the police in Bogoso and was given a medical form to attend hospital, where he was treated and discharged.

He said on March 11, this year, police upon further investigation, arrested Amponsah at Asebu
Ankromah with the vehicle which had a different registration number AS 2716-19.

The prosecutor said during a search in the accused person’s room, the complainant’s original number plate was found.
