The Ofaakor Circuit court presided over by Ebenezer Osei Darko has sentenced three armed robbers to 75 years for robbing a Ghanaian who came into the country from Italy last year.
The first and second accused Samuel Kweku Nhyira Amoankwando and Kofi Boateng Amoako were charged with conspiracy to rob and robbery, respectively while the third accused, Reuben Sam was charged with conspiracy to commit crime.
Suspects Nhyira Amoakwandor and Kofi Boateng who pleaded not guilty are to serve 30 years concurrently for each of the counts they were convicted on while Reuben Sam is to serve 15 years.
Stating the case in court, the prosecutor Ernest Agbo said in November last year, the complainant was robbed and butchered at Gomoa Buduburam.
This was after his girlfriend, one Naomi Manso allegedly arranged with her local boyfriend who resides at Fetteh Kakraba to rob the businessman after picking him up from the Kotoka International Airport.
