Two Armed Robbers Jailed 15 and 25 Years by Bekwai Circuit Court
The Ghana Police Service has successfully secured the conviction of two armed robbers on robbery and related charges at the Bekwai Circuit Court.
The convicts, Francis Oppong, also known as Kwame Abuu, and Francis Nyamekye, also known as Amearo, were sentenced to fifteen- and twenty-five-years’ imprisonment with hard labour, respectively.
The case stems from a December 2023 robbery involving a small-scale gold miner at Kyekyewere, near Obuasi. According to police investigators, the armed gang—including suspects who are still at large—attacked the victim and made away with a pump-action gun, a Huawei mobile phone valued at GH¢1,200, eighteen pounds of gold valued at approximately GH¢100,000, and cash amounting to GH¢2,000.
