A former Wa All Stars team manager, Abdul Rahman Yunusah has been remanded by the Wa Magistrate Court into police custody for allegedly killing Stephen Mane, a 61-year-old man in Wa over a land dispute.
Abdul Rahman is to reappear on March 25 after the court, presided over by Maxwell Titriku, refused him bail.
The 61-year-old businessman has been charged with two counts of murder and three counts of causing harm, contrary to sections 46 and 69 of the Criminal Offence Act 1960 (Act 29).
The prosecutor, ASP John Baidoo, prayed the court to remand him to enable the police to conclude investigations.
64-year-old Stephen Mane, a retired lecturer at the Dr. Hilla Limann Technical University, lost his life while four others sustained various degrees of injuries in a shooting, which occurred on March 17, 2022, over an alleged family land dispute in Wa.
Meanwhile, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has taken over investigations into the case.
“The CID Headquarters has taken over the investigation into circumstances leading to a shooting incident that occurred on Thursday, March 17, 2022, in Wa, that claimed one life,” police said in a statement.
