The case of the second preacher involved in the vandalising of vehicles in Parliament House car park has been adjourned to Monday, January 27.
Wisdom Ahli’s case was adjourned because the trial Judge had gone for relieving duties in another Court.
On December 20, 2024, the court presided over by Samuel Bright Acquah, sentenced Ahli’s accomplice, Kofi Okyere Sorkpa, to five years in prison for damaging the windscreens of five vehicles in Parliament House Car park.
Sorkpa, 33, the first accused person was sentenced to three years for conspiracy and five years for causing damage with the sentences running concurrently.
Ahli the second accused, however, remains in custody pending further investigations and potential amendment of the charge sheet, as the charges against him were found to be defective.
At the last sitting, Superintendent of Police Augustine Yirenkyi told the Court that both Sorkpa and Ahli, who are preachers from Kasoa, sneaked into Parliament House car park on December 18, 2024, at around 1100 hours.
The prosecution said Sorkpa was carrying a handbag with earth chisel which they used to damage the windscreens of two Toyota Landcruiser vehicles, two Toyota Camry Saloon cars and a Toyota Rav 4.
Ahli was reportedly seen praising Sorkpa for the damage.
The prosecution said both accused admitted their involvement in the crime in their caution statement to the Police, in the presence of an independent witness.
