The Nalerigu District court in the North East Region has remanded into police custody Waliu Fazazi, for his alleged involvement in a mobile money robbery at Bunkpurugu.
According to prosecution, on April 23, 2025, the accused Waliu Fazazi, with his accomplices who are currently on the run, attacked a Mobile money vendor and took away an amount of GH₵300,000.00 from the vendor.
Investigations established that the accused approached the Mobile Money vendor under the pretext of withdrawing GH₵15,000.00, which he claimed was being sent by his brother but delayed due to network issues.
During the process, two masked men, one of whom was armed, emerged and demanded the vendor’s bag containing the cash.
They subsequently fired warning shots and fled the scene on a motorbike.
The accused, following his arrest, was arraigned before the Nalerigu District court on Friday, April 25, and was remanded into Police custody.
He will reappear before the court on May 9, for hearing.
The Police in a statement has appealed to the public to provide information on the suspects who are on the run for their arrest.
