A young man who allegedly broke into the premises of the 29th February Road Court popularly called Cocoa Affairs in Accra and stole one of the typewriters has landed himself into trouble.
Kwaku Oduro who is unemployed was put before one of the Circuit Courts there, charged with unlawful entry and stealing.
Oduro who feigned madness pleaded not guilty and was remanded into prison custody until June 21, to enable the police to conduct thorough investigation into the matter.
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Margaret Awuni told the court presided over by Mrs. Jennifer Tagoe that Oduro took advantage of the downpour on June 9, to outwit security at the court premises.
At about 9:30 pm, on of the security on his usual patrol spotted five men standing in front of the typing pool and when he tried to get them they bolted and left Oduro who had entered the room to pick an Olivetti Linea 98 typewriter.
The prosecutor said he gained access to the room by removing the louvre blades and also said upon sensing that he was to be arraigned before court he started feigning madness.
