The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has secured the conviction of three armed robbers who attacked and robbed people on the Jacobu-Anwiankwanta road.
On 27th October, 2025, the Bekwai Circuit Court, presided over by His Honour Mr. Appiatu, sentenced Peter Boadi (alias Kwao Ziggy), Daniel Kwaku Owusu, and Eric Kwaku Danso to twenty years imprisonment each for conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery in the Ashanti Region.
It would be recalled that the convicts, on Monday, April 29, 2024, attacked their victims at Fiankoma near Jacobu with firearms and robbed them of two iPhones and GH₵7,000 cash.
They further forced one of the victims, a Chinese national, to transfer thirty thousand cedis (GH₵30,000.00) via mobile money to an account belonging to another person.
Through intelligence-led operations, police personnel tracked and arrested the robbery suspects between June and September 2024 in the Ashanti Region.
A search at Peter Boadi’s residence in Obuasi Bogobiri led to the recovery of one foreign-made Bruna pistol, one locally manufactured pistol, and ammunition, all of which were secured as evidence.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has commended the investigative team for their professionalism and reiterates its commitment to ensuring that criminals face the full rigour of the law.
