The Bekwai Circuit Court, presided over by His Honour Mr. Appiatu, sentenced Peter Boadi (also known as Kwao Ziggy), Daniel Kwaku Owusu, and Eric Kwaku Danso for conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery after being found guilty.
The trio attacked travelers at Fiankoma on the Jacobu-Anwiankwanta road on April 29, 2024, stealing two iPhones, GH₵7,000 in cash, and forcing a Chinese national to transfer GH₵30,000 to an accomplice's account.
