A circuit court in Kumasi, has sentenced Yakubu Mohammed, 18, and Iddrisu Ibrahim, 21, to 300 months imprisonment each with hard labour for attacking and robbing a security man.
The suspected armed robbers pleaded guilty to the charges of conspiracy and robbery.
Police Chief Inspector Archibald Kwesi Fandoh told the court presided over by Mr. Emmanuel Amo-Yartey that Iddrisu was a labourer and Mohammed was a herdsman.
Prosecution said the complainant, Abdulai Mumuni, a Muslim, was attacked by the accused persons at 1240 hours when he was saying prayers at Roman Hill in Kumasi.
Chief Inspector Fandoh said Mohammed seized a bag containing GH¢100 and mobile phone worth GH¢150 from Mumuni at gun point.
