Fordjour was said to have robbed one Doris Adzanu of a cash sum of 7,800 Ghana cedis and some quantity of gold worth 10,000 Ghana cedis with three other persons who are now at large.

He said on December 29, 2019, at about 9 am hours the complainant was in her house when three young men dressed in fancy apparels came and requested for their Christmas gift and the complainant generously gave them ¢10 of which they bid her farewell and left.
The Prosecution said an hour later, the accused together with three persons now at large allegedly wearing face mask returned to the complainant with the intent to offer her gold for sale.
Inspector Agyare said immediately the complainant entered her room to fetch some money to purchase the alleged gold, Fordjour and his accomplices attacked her in the room, tied her with a rope, covered her mouth with a cloth and robbed her of the money and quantity of gold mentioned above.
