Three armed robbers who attacked and robbed travellers on the Jacobu–Anwiankwanta road have each been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The Bekwai Circuit Court, presided over by His Honour Mr. Appiatu, handed the sentences to Peter Boadi (alias Kwao Ziggy), Daniel Kwaku Owusu, and Eric Kwaku Danso on October 27, 2025, after finding them guilty of conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery.
The trio attacked their victims at Fiankoma near Jacobu on April 29, 2024, robbing them of two iPhones and GH₵7,000 in cash. They also forced one of the victims, a Chinese national, to transfer GH₵30,000 via mobile money to an accomplice’s account.
Police tracked and arrested the suspects between June and September 2024 through intelligence-led operations. A search at Boadi’s residence at Obuasi Bogobiri uncovered a foreign Bruni pistol, a locally made pistol, and ammunition, which were secured as evidence.
The Ghana Police Service commended its investigative team for their professionalism and reiterated its commitment to ensuring that offenders face the full rigour of the law.
