Taxi driver wrongly jailed for theft

Meanwhile, Kwadwo Owusu Appiah, a 37-year-old man, was wrongly accused of stealing the taxi he worked with and was sentenced to four years in prison.

Juliet Ayarkwa, his wife, narrated that her husband worked with a taxi and rendered sales to the owner regularly, but one day, the vehicle went missing.

In a Facebook post, Crime Check TV shared Juliet’s account: her husband said he picked up a passenger who offered him a drink that was allegedly laced with a substance that knocked him out.

When he regained consciousness, the vehicle was gone and he was left to take the blame.

Although the car had a tracker, the owner, Francis Attakora, said the thieves disconnected the battery, making tracing impossible.

When police arrested Kwadwo, they wrote a statement that incriminated him. Feeling responsible for the missing car, he pleaded guilty in court.

Shockingly, the car was found on the same day he was sentenced.

The tracking company later informed the owner that the car had been seen around Weija and later at a drinking spot in Madina.

The owner retrieved the car and has since apologised as the family seeks help to free Kwadwo from prison.
