Beleaguered Aduana Stars center back Farouk Adams has been remanded in Police custody after making his first appearance in court on Thursday for allegedly killing a Police officer with a car he was driving on Monday night.

Initially the case was supposed to have been heard at the Fiapre Circuit Court but was moved at the eleventh hour by the Police to the Berekum Circuit court.

The plea of the center back was not taken as the prosecution prayed the court for more time to conclude their investigations.

Adams has been slapped with five counts of negligently causing harm, careless and inconsiderate driving among others.

The court presided over by His Lordship Osei Kofi Amoako remanded the player in Police custoday to re-appear in court on the 18th March 2021.

Counsel for the player Baffour Akoto prayed the court to grant his client bail but the prosecution prayed the court to deny him bail as he is a flight risk.

The court took into consideration the plea of the prosecution and remanded the player into Police custody for two weeks.

How the player was arrested after allegedly commiting the crime

DSP Francis Akwasi Asante, the Wamfie District Police Commander, in an interview with Kumasi-based Hello FM, revealed chilling details of how police apprehended the player after the accident.

“About three days ago, one of our men, Constable Amos Mantey was on snap check duty with other colleagues at Asuotiano on the Berekum road. He sought permission to go to town to buy mosquito repellent with a motorbike at around 7 pm.

“While he was not returning around ok10 pm, the other colleagues at the post made several phone calls to the office and some friends but he was not picking.

“The next day(Tuesday), someone called to inform the police that there has been a motor accident but he does not know the person so his colleagues rushed to the place and found that it was their colleague who sought permission. He was lying in the bush without life.

“We realized it was hit and run so we started an investigation. We saw that there was red paint on his motorbike so we suspected that the car involved was red.

“Fortunately, for us, we got someone who had a CCTV camera that captured the where the car went and parked after the incident. We took the number of the car and checked from DVLA for the owner of the vehicle.

“It led to one Adams Farouk who is a player of Aduana Stars Football Club. We went to Dormaa.

“Because of what happened they took the vehicle to Sunyani to change the doors and other things but we were able to retrieve it. Currently, the car is in the custody of the police.
