Fast money wahala! A wedding ceremony taking place at a Methodist Church (Aldersgate) in Takoradi area of Ghana on Saturday, 2nd April, 2016, was cut short after policemen stormed the church's premises and nabbed the groom over suspected armed robbery. The arrest is in connection with a robbery case at Aniamote, a community in the Wassa Amenfi District in the Western region.

The 30-year-old husband, Aaron Ackah (pictured), is alleged to have robbed a Chinese Small Scale Miner of Gh¢18,000 after inflicting knife wounds on his left hand.

A civilian, who led the police to the wedding venue at West Anaji told Starr News that the couple had just completed the exchange of vows and were about wearing their rings when two plain-clothed police officers from Bogoso stormed the church.

They whisked the bridegroom away after using one of the invitation cards to confirm his identity.

The joy that had filled the venue of the ceremony was cut short as shocked guests started crying and wailing. The bride, Rebecca Buah, was reported to have collapsed after her groom was arrested.

Sources say the suspect has since been taken to Prestea police division for further investigation.
