A 20-year-old, Eyram Botwe, is assisting the Akatsi District Police with investigations after he attempted to rob a Haojue Motorbike from an Okada rider.
The suspect, who was a pillion, was arrested on Wednesday, January 19, 2022, by members of the Agorve Community.
Reports indicate Eyram engaged the services of the rider to convey him from AKatsi to Agorveh.
Upon reaching a section of the road near Agorveh township, he poured pepper powder into the eyes of the rider, causing both of them to fall to the ground.
Eyram absconded with the motorbike after a successful operation, abandoning the rider to his fate.
A shout for help by the victim attracted the community members who came to his aid, chased and apprehended the suspect.
