An\u00a0Adentan\u00a0Circuit Court has remanded a building contractor into police custody over charges of trespass and threat of harm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The accused, Carlos Kwabena Allston, is alleged to have unlawfully entered the premises of the complainant,\u00a0Wise Roland\u00a0Horgli, and threatened to harm him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Allston has denied the charges and is expected to reappear before the court on January 27, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chief Inspector Maxwell\u00a0Lanyo\u00a0told the court that the complainant was\u00a0a businessman\u00a0in Accra, while the accused was a building contractor\u00a0residing\u00a0at East Legon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The prosecution said that in 2021, the complainant purchased a four-unit apartment from the accused for US$450,000, which was paid in full.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the purchase, the complainant asked Allston, who was occupying one of the apartments, to vacate the premises to allow for renovation\u00a0works.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2025, the accused allegedly informed the complainant of his intention to return to the property to undertake construction works. The complainant declined the request.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The prosecution said the accused became unhappy and threatened to enter the premises, destroy part of the property,\u00a0and erect another structure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On December 30, 2025, Allston allegedly visited the property without prior notice.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Upon learning of his presence, the complainant warned him to stay away from the premises, but the accused refused to comply.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The prosecution further told the court that on January 14, 2026, Allston was arrested.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0In his investigation caution statement, he admitted selling the property to the complainant and visiting the premises on December 30, 2025, claiming he went there to check on his scaffolding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
