Akpatsa allegedly entered the house of his ex-boss, Mr Callistus Mahama, armed with a kitchen knife at Okpoi Gonno, near Spintex Road, and demanded the return of his former employer's motorbike.
The prosecution, headed by Inspector Priscilla Avorgah, presented evidence that Akpatsa had previously worked as a driver at the residence but quit on January 22, 2025, and was compensated with GH¢10,000. He reportedly returned to Accra from his hometown Kpando on May 23, 2025, and obtained a kitchen knife from a Richard Ampiah before attempting the robbery at the complainant's residence on May 24, 2025.
The alleged victim, Gabriel Djanfosu, a houseboy and driver, resisted Akpatsa's demands and retrieved a cutlass, leading to Akpatsa's arrest by police.
