Man of God before court for alleged robbery

A Pastor, believed to be one of five armed robbers, who attacked and robbed the Reverend Father Marek Dabrowski, a Dutch expatriate Father-in-charge of the Kwahu Tafo Roman Catholic Church, on Friday appeared before a circuit court, at Mpraeso.

The plea of Emmanuel Amuzu, of Prophet Revival Church in Accra, was not taken and has been remanded in prison custody, to re-appear on May 16.

Prosecuting, Police Inspector Alex Gyamera Acheampong told the court,

presided over by Mr Charles Gyau Asiedu, that on April 23, Amuzu and four others now on the run, armed with a gun, cutlasses and a hammer tied the hands of the watchman of the parish, and broke into Rev. Father Dabrowski's room.

He said the suspects took away ten million cedis, five thousand Dutche marks, a video and cameras.

Inspector Acheampong said the suspects assaulted Rev. Father Dabrowski, using cutlasses, as a result of which he sustained injuries.

The suspected armed robbers, also took the ignition keys of two vehicles, at the parish.

Inspector Acheampong said Father Dabrowski raised an alarm and Amuzu and his colleagues bolted.

The Rev. Father reported the matter to the police at Kwahu Tafo and Amuzu was arrested, after some days.

Inspector Acheampong said the police are making efforts to arrest the other four suspects.
