'Help enlist me into police service' - Suspect in alleged armoured vehicle theft pleads in court
Ebenezer Frimpong pleaded with the presiding judge on Friday afternoon at the Kwadaso Circuit Court in Kumasi to "use his influence to help him enlist in the Ghana Police Service." Ebenezer Frimpong is accused of stealing a police armoured vehicle. The presiding judge, His Honour Jephtha Appau, acknowledged the plea.
Ebenezer Frimpong, a 26-year-old unemployed resident of Antwi Agyei Nkwanta in the Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti Region, was arrested on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, by personnel from the Police Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Unit. Police Prosecutor ASP Albert Asagre told the court that the accused is a resident of Antwi Agyeikrom in the same district. General Lance Corporal Joshua Denkyi, a police driver, was in charge of an armoured police vehicle with registration number GP 1131, which was being conveyed to a workshop for servicing. The officer parked the vehicle near the Nkawie market to purchase medication. He allegedly spotted the accused driving the vehicle towards the Abuakwa-Kumasi direction. The suspect was arrested in a dramatic operation at Mim, near Abuakwa. The prosecution prayed the court to remand the accused into police custody to allow for further investigations. His Honour Jephtha Appau remanded the accused into prison custody "for his own safety".
Ebenezer Frimpong is expected to reappear before the court on May 4, 2026.
