Bekwai Court jails three armed robbers 20 years each for Jacobu-Anwiankwanta Highway attack.
The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has secured the conviction of three armed robbers responsible for a violent attack and robbery on the Jacobu-Anwiankwanta road.
On 27 October 2025, the Bekwai Circuit Court, presided over by His Honour Mr. Appiatu, sentenced the three men to twenty years imprisonment each. The convicts identified as Peter Boadi (alias Kwao Ziggy), Daniel Kwaku Owusu, and Eric Kwaku Danso were convicted on charges of conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery.
The armed gang had attacked their victims on 29 April 2024 at Fiankoma, near Jacobu.
During the robbery, they used firearms to steal two iPhones and GH₵7,000.00 in cash. They further coerced one of the victims, a Chinese national, to transfer an additional GH₵30,000.00 via mobile money to an account belonging to a third party.
Through intelligence-led operations, the Police successfully tracked and arrested the suspects between June and September 2024. A search conducted at Peter Boadi’s residence in Obuasi Bogobiri led to the recovery of critical evidence, including one foreign Bruna pistol, one locally manufactured pistol, and ammunition.
The Ghana Police Service has commended the investigative team for their professionalism and reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that criminals face the full rigour of the law.
