Lucy Tang, the Chinese woman who was allegedly arrested by the police in Kumasi for possessing four pump action guns, has been remanded into custody.
The Kumasi Circuit Court has also issued a bench warrant for the arrest of one Felix Yeboah, an accused person in the case, who was absent in court.
The court, presided over by Justice Mary Senkyere, remanded Lucy on November 4.
Lucy, who would appear before the court on November 10, was charged with possession of firearms and ammunition without lawful excuse, contrary to Section 192 of the criminal and other offences act 29/60.
According to the prosecutor, ACP Okyere Darko, the police trailed the Chinese woman to Ingot Hotel and eventually arrested her with the firearms and ammunition.
He stated that after interrogation, the police charged the Chinese lady with possession of firearms and ammunition without lawful authority and arraigned her before court.
Counsel for the Chinese lady pleaded with the court to grant his client bail, but the court rejected it.
