An eighteen-year-old unemployed man, Musa Danumah, also known as Soldier Boy, has been jailed for five years, for stealing church musical instruments, by the Ashaiman circuit court.

 Mr Gabriel Mate-Teye, presiding judge, said accused, who was already serving a 12-year jail term for robbery attacks, would serve all the jail terms concurrently.

Chief Inspector Yahara Salifu of the Ashaiman Divisional Police Command, told the court that the accused in August, 2017, unlawfully broke into the auditorium of King Jesus Chapel International Church in Ashaiman, and stole speakers valued at GH¢2,000.00, stabiliser valued at GH¢1,500, Piano worth GH¢2,000.00, mixer valued at GH¢1,500, belonging to the church.

The prosecutor said the accused was arrested with the musical instruments at his hideout, when the police undertook a swoop at the Ashaiman Fitter Line. – GNA
