PHOTO: Bridegroom arrested by Police during wedding ceremony in Takoradi

A wedding ceremony at Aldersgate Methodist Church at West Anaji in the Sekondi/Takoradi Metropolis on Saturday April 2, 2016 ended abruptly after policemen besieged the Church’s premises and arrested the Bridegroom.

The arrest is in connection with a robbery case at Aniamote, a community in the Wassa Amenfi District in the Western Region.

The suspect is alleged to have robbed a Chinese Small scale miner of an amount of GHc18,000 after inflicting knife wounds on his left hand.

A civilian who led the police to the wedding venue tells www.233times.net that, the couple had just completed the exchange of vows and the officiating minister was just about to usher them into the wearing of rings when two plain clothed police officers appeared suddenly and whisked the bridegroom away after using one of the invitation cards to confirm his identity.

The joy and excitement that had filled the venue of the ceremony was cut short as many of the awe striken guests started wailing.

The bride, Rebecca Buah was reported to have collapsed after the arrest.

The suspect, Aaron Ackah, 30, has since been taken to Prestea for further investigation.
