Company driver fined for unlawful entry
A 34-year-old driver with the Goldfields Ghana
Limited, (GGL) Tarkwa Mine, has been fined
GH¢360.00 by a Tarkwa Circuit Court for being on
the company’s concession for unlawful purpose.

Emmanuel Mensah, who pleaded guilty to the
offence, would go to prison for 14 days in
default.

His accomplice, Robert Quansah, 44, a security
officer with the mining firm, was charged for
abetment of crime.

Quansah who, however, pleaded guilty, but said he
had an explanation, was granted bail in the sum of
GH¢2,000.00 to re-appear on November 18.

Prosecution Detective Chief Inspector Oscar
Amponsah, told the court, presided over by Mr.
Emmaunel Bart-Plange Brew, that the complainants
were security officers of the GGL, Tarkwa Mine.

Detective Amponsah said on October 28, the
complainants were on their routine patrol checks
at North ADR Ponds, Tarkwa, when they spotted
Emmanuel and another person loitering in the
premises.

He said another accomplice, now at large, whose
name was only given as “Cross” fled the scene
when he saw the complainants, leaving his mobile
phone behind.

According to the Prosecutor, Mensah claimed he
accompanied Cross to see a security officer when
he was interrogated by the complainants.

He said on the spot investigation conducted by the
complainants revealed that Robert, who was then on
duty near the South West ADR Ponds, communicated
with the Cross on his mobile phone that he was
visiting him at his duty post, which was not
permitted.

They were arrested and handed over to the Police
together with the mobile phone.
