Man, 51, Remanded for Stealing and Stabbing Security Officer

The Circuit Court in Accra has remanded a 51-year-old aluminium fabricator, Bismark Marfo, into police custody for allegedly Stealing company property and inflicting life-threatening injuries on a private security officer.

Bismark Marfo, who works with Ace Cladding Company Limited, was arraigned before Her Honour Basilia Adjei-Tawiah on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, charged with stealing and causing harm contrary to Sections 124(1) and 69 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).

He pleaded not guilty to the charge of stealing and guilty with explanation to the charge of causing harm.

Prosecution’s Case

Chief Inspector Daniel Ofori-Appiah, holding brief for Rosemond Anyane, told the court that the complainant, Alfred Atiga, 30, a private security officer with Fabrisco Builders Company Limited, is currently on admission at the 37 Military Hospital after sustaining severe abdominal and hand injuries.

According to the brief facts, both Fabrisco Builders and Ace Cladding are working on a Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) office complex under construction at Kanda, Accra.

On October 28, 2025 at about 10:00 a.m., Alfred Atiga spotted Marfo leaving the construction site with off-cut aluminium materials belonging to Fabrisco Builders.

When the security officer confronted him and demanded the return of the items, an argument ensued. Marfo eventually returned the items.

However, prosecutors said the accused later armed himself with a sharp implement and unexpectedly attacked the security officer, stabbing him in the stomach and left hand.

The abdominal wound was so deep that the victim’s intestines reportedly protruded.

Atiga screamed for help, and colleagues rushed to the scene. Marfo attempted to flee but was chased, arrested, and handed to the police.

The victim was rushed to the 37 Military Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery and remains on admission.

Police say Marfo admitted the offence in his investigation caution statement in the presence of an independent witness.

The prosecution urged the court to remand the accused for two weeks to allow investigators to obtain a medical report and for the victim to stabilize, presenting photographs and the weapon allegedly used.

The judge, Her Honour Basilia Adjei-Tawiah, granted the request and remanded Marfo into police custody to reappear on November 18, 2025.
