A 21-year-old fisherman, Michael Dodoo, has been remanded into police custody by the Dansoman Circuit Court for allegedly stealing GH¢50,800 and two Tecno mobile phones from a businessman’s car in Accra Central.
The incident occurred on September 20, 2025, when the victim, Seidu Mohammed, parked his Opel vehicle in front of UBA Bank and left it unlocked while buying tea nearby. Dodoo and three accomplices—Prince, Amuguaye, and Sadiku, who are currently on the run—allegedly took advantage of the situation, entered the vehicle, and stole the items.
Dodoo was later arrested based on police intelligence. A search revealed the stolen phones in his possession, which the complainant identified. During interrogation, Dodoo admitted to the theft and claimed a fight broke out among the group while dividing the money, with Amuguaye taking custody of the cash.
Dodoo has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy, unlawful entry, and stealing. He is expected to reappear in court on October 20, 2025, as efforts continue to apprehend the other suspects.
