Nigerian national Augustine Ogechukwu Maazi appeared before the Accra Circuit Court on an eight-count charge in connection with an alleged bank robbery syndicate targeting banks in Accra's Labone enclave. His lawyer's bail application was denied, and he was remanded into police custody. Prosecutors allege Maazi is part of a syndicate planning to attack GCB Bank, Ecobank, and Zenith Bank in Labone when the operation was thwarted by the police.
He faces conspiracy to commit robbery and other charges linked to a series of bank robberies over the years. Maazi left the court under police escort, and the case has been adjourned until September 2, 2026, with two accomplices still at large.
