Aduana Stars center-back Farouk Adams has been charged with four more counts after previously being charged with two for allegedly killing a police officer.
Reckless and reckless driving and negligent causing damage were the first charges.
The additional charges are for failing to report the accident to the police and for failing to stop to attend to a victim of the accident.
Others drive a motor vehicle without a valid road user certificate and drive a motor vehicle without valid insurance.
Inspector Emmanuel Sampson, who presented the case to the Berekum Circuit Court, chaired by Osei Kofi Amoako, said Adams was driving a Toyota Camry vehicle with registration number GW 5882-17 from Sunyani to Dormaa- Ahenkro.
He said the player, around 8 p.m. on Monday, March 1, 2021, overturned an oncoming motorcycle driven by Constable Amos Maatey Niganoka, now deceased, on a stretch of road near Cocoa station in Asuotiano in the district of Dormaa Est.
Prosecutor Inspector Sampson told court that Adams, after the incident, failed to stop and attend to the victim and sped off leaving the Constable there.
According to him, the suspect also did not report the accident to the police, but parked the crashed vehicle at a Goil gas station and silently went to Wamfie Polyclinic for treatment.
He also said Adams arranged with a mechanic from Sunyani to bring the vehicle back to an unknown location, allegedly to make it untraceable by police, and then went into hiding in Dormaa Ahenkro.
Police were informed the next day, March 2, 2021, at 7 a.m. that there had been a hit-and-run. They arrived at the scene and the victim was Constable Niganoka.
Police attended the Goil filling station and, using CCTV, the vehicle the accused was driving at the time of the incident was identified. Investigations at the DVLA in Sunyani revealed that the vehicle was registered in the name of the Alberta Asare of Dormaa-Ahenkro.
She was then forced to produce the alleged driver and mechanic to bring the car.
According to the prosecutor, Farouk Adams was arrested and further inspection of the vehicle revealed that the roadworthiness test, as well as the insurance covering it, had expired since June 13, 2018, while the rear license plate had also been withdrawn.
The court placed him in police custody for two weeks on Thursday to reappear on March 18, 2021.
