The case involving three Opoku Ware Senior High School students who allegedly robbed a taxi driver has been adjourned to January 12, 2023.
The KMA Circuit Court presided over by Judge Abdul Razak Musah adjourning the case ordered the prosecution to file its disclosure in the case.
This is the third time the prosecution led by Chief Inspector Albert Asagre has been ordered by the court to do so.
The judge had previously threatened during the last court sitting on November 15 to discharge the suspects should the prosecutor delay proceedings further.
At the sitting today, Judge Abdul Razak Musah adjourned the sitting to January 12 further cautioning the prosecution team to make all documents ready by then.
The suspects, all old students of the Opoku Ware Senior High School have since pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery and unlawful damage.
The students, aged between 17 and 19 years, failed in their attempt to snatch a taxi cab from its driver on Friday night.
The driver picked the suspects from the Santasi suburb. The passengers sought his services under the pretext of travelling to the Lancaster Kumasi City, formerly Golden Tulip Hotel, in the Nhyiaeso suburb.
But upon reaching the Rattray Park area, the teenagers impressed on the driver to hand over the ignition keys to them or risk being stabbed.
A struggle for the keys ensued between the suspects and the driver. Eventually, the vehicle hit a wall along the Ridge Police Station and the Royal Golf Park Junction.
This attracted onlookers from a nearby club who came to the aid of the taxi driver.
One of the students fled the scene, while two of them were arrested and handed over to the Police.
