A married couple alleged to have stolen and forged documents covering an unregistered vehicle – a Toyota Highlander Station Wagon, have been dragged to a Kumasi Circuit Court.
Kwabena Bannor Wireko and Juliet Osei Doyinah are facing charges of conspiracy, stealing and forging of official documents.
The pair pleaded not guilty and they were each granted a GH¢25,000.00 bail with two sureties.
They were ordered to make their next appearance on Thursday, November 16.
Police Inspector Eric Asare told the court, presided over by Mr. John Ekow Mensah, that the said vehicle belonged one Nana Amoh, a businessman.
Wireko had expressed interest in buying it and settled on the price of GHȼ25,000.00 after a bargain.
The accused made down payment of GHȼ14,000.00 leaving an outstanding amount of GH¢11,000.00, which he promised to pay off after two months.
The prosecution said based on this understanding he was allowed to take possession of the vehicle.
He did not only fail to keep to the agreed terms but together with the wife forged the original documents and used these to register it in their name as joint owners.
Amo made a formal report to the police on March 19, and they were arrested.

It is soo sad to be a Ghanaian most especially when you don't have money to defend your case. I am not a lawyer or a jurge but just want to know for how long has the couple kept the car and why now is the owner reporting the case Secondly the case was cancelled and the man filled the same arrest on the same case not raising the case to the higher court but to the same level of court. I don't understand and it doesn't make sense. Lastly Adom Fm do your investigations well before you bring wrong information as you can be sued
