Accra (Greater Accra) 8th Sept. '99 - An Accra Circuit Tribunal on Tuesday remanded in custody Kwame Akorley, alias Zogah, a chop-bar attendant, for allegedly raping a 24-year-old secretary. Zogah, 32, pleaded not guilty to rape and will reappear on September 14. The tribunal, chaired by Mrs Elizabeth Anderson Yeboah, heard that the complainant was walking home from Tetteh Quarshie roundabout to East Lagoon at about 2200 hours on August 16, when she met Zogah who confronted her. Out of fear, she took to her heels.
