The Ho Circuit Court has sentenced three men to a total of 125 years in prison with hard labour for their involvement in a robbery that netted GH\u20b5825,000 in cash and valuables.<\/p>\n
The convicted individuals are Nzete Chukunhru Best, a 28-year-old second-hand clothes dealer; Mark Billy Agbozo, a 31-year-old teacher; and Ernest Sokpi Amevor, a 32-year-old driver and self-proclaimed peacemaker.<\/p>\n
The men were found guilty of contravening sections 20(1) and 149(1) of the Criminal Offences Act 1960 (Act 29) as amended by the Criminal Offences (Amendment) Act 2003 (Act 646).<\/p>\n
The robbery occurred on May 29, 2021, at Ayitikope-Akatsi in the Volta Region. The culprits, using a Daewoo taxi cab with registration number GE 3739-12, broke into the residence of Atsu Kumordzi, a lotto agent.<\/p>\n
They stole GH\u20b5160,000, an equivalent of GH\u20b5640,000 in CFA Francs, and an additional GH\u20b525,000 belonging to Peace Lordeena Sedofia.<\/p>\n
The case was investigated and referred to the Attorney General\u2019s office for advice. Following a thorough trial, presided over by His Lordship Felix Datsomor, the court convicted the three on multiple charges.<\/p>\n
Each of the accused was sentenced to 25 years for each offense, to be served consecutively.<\/p>\n
Efforts are ongoing to apprehend six other accomplices who allegedly served as spies and aided the crime.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
