Four students of the University of Ghana suspected to have taken part in the ‘fingering’ of a young woman accused of laptop and mobile phone theft have absconded, the police have said.
The four were part of 13 others who allegedly sexually assaulted Amina Haruna and were last week invited for an interrogation and identification parade but refused to turn up.
The nine who did, have been granted bail by a court in Accra with a surety of GHS 9,000 each.
The bail follows a request by the defence to allow their clients the opportunity to prepare for their exams.
Police acting Public Relations Officer Cephas Arthur confirmed the four had absconded.
“For now we can say that they have absconded, that is a fact. The information we have is that they have run away,” he said.
He said the “police will ensure that these four people are also brought to face the law because they are suspected to have committed an offence.”
“The police are going to do everything possible; we are already collaborating with the university authority; we will continue to collaborate with them until we get them.
“We also have other means by which to get them. We can take a warrant for their arrest and publish the warrant.
“Even if they decide to travel abroad we also have the Interpol and other bodies [to assist],” he said.
Meanwhile, the nine are to reappear in court on May 30, 2011.
