Accra Circuit Court grants prosecution more time in Augustine Okechukwu Maazi bank robbery trial
The Accra Circuit Court has adjourned the trial of Nigerian national Augustine Okechukwu Maazi to November 5 over alleged bank robberies in Labone and Spintex.
The Accra Circuit Court has extended the deadline for the police prosecutors to file evidence against Augustine Okechukwu Maazi, a Nigerian man on trial for attempted armed robberies near banks in Labone. The 49-year-old denies eight charges of conspiracy to commit armed robbery in connection with attacks in Tema, Spintex, and Labone.
The prosecution alleges that Maazi and five others were part of a robbery gang that targeted victims after bank transactions across Côte d'Ivoire and Togo. The group has been under police surveillance since May 2026, following a series of attacks along Spintex Road. In August 2026, police opened fire in Labone, killing two suspects and apprehending three others. The trial has been rescheduled for November 5, 2026.
