The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has secured the conviction of three armed robbers who attacked and robbed travellers on the Jacobu–Anwiankwanta road in April 2024.
The Bekwai Circuit Court, presided over by His Honour Mr. Appiatu, on 27th October 2025 sentenced Peter Boadi (alias Kwao Ziggy), Daniel Kwaku Owusu, and Eric Kwaku Danso to 20 years imprisonment each for conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery.
According to police reports, the trio attacked their victims at Fiankoma near Jacobu on 29th April 2024, using firearms to rob them of two iPhones and GH₵7,000 in cash.
They also compelled one of their victims, a Chinese national, to transfer GH₵30,000 via mobile money to an account belonging to an accomplice.
Following an intelligence-led investigation, police operatives tracked and arrested the suspects between June and September 2024.
A search conducted at Peter Boadi’s residence at Obuasi Bogobiri led to the recovery of a foreign-made Bruna pistol, a locally manufactured pistol, and several rounds of ammunition, which were presented as evidence during trial.
In a statement, the Ghana Police Service commended the investigative team for their professionalism and reiterated its commitment to pursuing and prosecuting criminals to ensure public safety.
“This conviction demonstrates our resolve to make communities safer by ensuring offenders face the full rigour of the law,” the statement added.
