Churches in Kwadaso, Ohwimase and Patase; all in the Kumasi Metropolis have suffered the activities of Mr Owusu and his syndicate.
His two accomplices, identified only as ‘Kobby’ and ‘Striker’, are on the run and the police are looking for them, the GNA reported.
The prosecutor, Andane Ameyaw, told the court that the police had received several complaints that their musical instruments have been stolen.
