A 20-year-old unemployed standing trial at a Kumasi Circuit Court for
possessing cannabis (Indian Hemp) caused drama at the court when he
denied that the substance was not leaves but sticks.
The substance has already been sent to the Police Forensic Laboratory
and had tested positive with the weight value of 17.47 grammes.
Ibrahim Mohammed, who pleaded not guilty to the charge, has been
ordered by the court to be remanded into prison custody and to re-appear
on Friday, June 14.
Chief Superintendent Moses Atibillah told the court presided over by Mr
Emmanuel Amo-Yartey that one George Owusu, complainant in the case, on
November 26, 2012, reported a robbery case against Ibrahim to the
Asuofua Police in the Atwima-Nwabiagya District of Ashanti.
He was arrested three days later from his hide-out and handed over to the police.
A search on him uncovered the substance and was further handed to the
Drug Enforcement Unit of the Ashanti Regional Police Command.
