Daniel Armah, a driver, on Friday appeared before the Asamankese Circuit Court charged for breaking into the room of Addo Teye Abi Zayed, chairman of the Lower West Akyem Constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), with two others while firing warning shots.
He pleaded not guilty and had been remanded in prison custody to reappear on June 28.
A bench warrant had been issued for the arrest of his accomplices named only as Alhaji and Akrofi.
They took away a mobile phone valued at GHC 220 and an amount of GHC 100.
Armah was charged with conspiracy, causing unlawful damage, unlawful entry, threat of death and robbery.
Presenting the facts of the case, Police Chief Inspector Kate Ogyiri, said at about 1300 hours, while the complainant was asleep on May 27, he heard a loud bang at his door.
She said the accused entered the bedroom and ordered him to surrender all the money he had on him, while two others standing outside fired warning shorts to scare people away.
They later managed to escape.
The following day, however, Armah was arrested with the mobile phone he stole, having removed its simcard (Chip) and replaced it with his own.
On interrogation, the accused alleged that those who stole the phone turned round to arrest him as an armed robber.
