Aaron Ackah aka Damoah
It was drama and disgrace as a groom was taken away by the police
while exchanging marriage vows at the Aldersgate Methodist Church at
Anaji in the Sekondi/Takoradi metropolis of Ghana on Saturday.
The bride, identified only as Becky, collapsed out of shock, while
her beloved, Aaron Ackah, aka Damoah, in a three-piece black and grey
suit and a purple necktie to match, was whisked away by the police. The
policemen arrested the bridegroom on suspicion of robbery.
According to an eyewitness, the applause was loud after the couple
had exchanged vows and the rings were ready to be slipped on their
fingers, but before the ritual could be completed, the police went in to
turn the wedding upside down, DailyGraphic reports.
The church members, who, for a moment thought they were watching
one of Ghana's Kumawood movies, fled for their lives after the police
had picked the groom,
Revealing more details, Prestea-Huni Valley District Crime Officer,
ASP Emmanuel Nwinsori revealed that Ackah and two others allegedly
attacked a Chinese worker with machetes and robbed him of GH¢18,000 at
Aniamote, a village near Bogoso, on Wednesday, March 30, 2016.
One of the two accomplices has been identified only as Oppong, while the other has been named as Kwame Anu. Both are at large.
Ackah, he said, was easily identified by the victim and was traced
to Takoradi, where he was set to marry his girlfriend last Saturday.
According to the police, the groom arrived at the venue for the
wedding very early and later cheerfully joined the bride as they mounted
the altar for the marriage to be consecrated.
All the vows were exchanged, amid cheers from the congregation, but
when Ackah was about to place the ring on the bride's finger, the
police entered the church and arrested him. The marriage was cancelled.
