A circuit court at Cape Coast on Thursday remanded Isaac Kofi Tawiah, a 27-year-old footballer with ‘Great Lamptey Mills School,’ in prison custody for allegedly stealing three mobile phones. Tawiah pleaded not guilty and will reappear in court on Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Prosecuting, Chief Superintendent Cyril Ackom told the court, presided over by Mr Richard Asiedu-Badu, that in November last year, while on her way home, the complainant in the case met Tawiah at Kotokoraba, a suburb of Cape Coast, asking for directions to the Cape Coast Presbyterian Church. He said the complainant who happened to be going towards the same direction asked Tawiah to follow her and upon reaching the church premises, Tawiah thanked her and offered to give her gold since he was a gold dealer. He said Tawiah then brought out two yellowish substances from his pocket but said before the gold could be of good use, it had to be washed with a substance in the GH¢50 note or a substance from mobile phones. He said complainant immediately brought out her mobile phone and gave it to Tawiah and after examining it, he told her it did not have what he needed to wash the gold. Superintendent Ackom said the complainant went home and brought two more Motorola phones belonging to her parents and Tawiah examined them and said they contained what he wanted. He said Tawiah then asked the complainant to add her Motorola phone which she obliged and after collecting the phones he took to his heels and was chased but he escaped. He said on February 3 this year, the complainant spotted Tawiah at the same spot and caused his arrest by raising an alarm. Source: GNA
