The Ejisu Magistrate Court presided over by His Lordship K. B Frimpong has remanded an ex-police officer one week into police custody for allegedly shooting his tenant over rent arrears.

The suspect will appear in court on December 13, 2021

The 37-year-old ex-police officer Prince Nyarko was arrested on Monday, December 6, 2021 for allegedly shooting his tenant over rent arrears.

The suspect was said to have fired two gunshots to ostensibly cause harm to his tenant after a scuffle between the two over unpaid rent.

Speaking to this reporter after court proceedings, the investigator at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ejisu Divisional Police Command, Mr Anarfi said they are yet to officially charge the suspect.

He added that the case will be moved from the Magistrate court on the next adjourned date to a Circuit Court since the Magistrate Court lacks jurisdiction to trial such cases.

He explained that the investigation team is now preparing a docket on the case and will officially charge the suspect after seeking advice from the Attorney Generals Office.
