A 24-year old man, Isaac Osei, is currently in the grips of Assin Fosu police for smuggling mobile phone to a suspect on remand in the police cell.
Assin Fosu District police commander, ASP Magnus Reindorf Sam, who confirmed the incident to Adom News’ Alfred Amoh said the suspect, who was recently granted bail for gambling, allegedly hid the cell phone in a parceled waakye.
Upon vigorous inspection, the police on duty uncovered it and arrested the suspect.
ASP Magnus Reindorf Sam said the suspect will soon be arraigned before the Assin Fosu District court to serve as a deterrent to others.

Meanwhile, the suspect, Isaac Osei, explained that he took the action on humanitarian grounds and out of ignorance.
“I once visited my friend and he told me he needed a mobile phone to keep him company. I obliged and decided to put it in the waakye but unfortunately one police officer took the food and upon opening it saw the phone in the waakye and arrested me claiming that I have broken the rules” he cried.
