Court grants PN reprieve from ROS deregistration
Judge rules that the deregistration may undermine the coalition's judicial review application.
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.
