A 30-year-old man named Dominic Ofori, also known as Fanta, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison with hard labour. The Bekwai Circuit Court delivered the sentence.
Ofori was found guilty for his role in a robbery incident that occurred in 2022. The crime took place at a mining site in Manso Akwasiso.
This area is located in the Ashanti South Region. The robbery involved the theft of valuable resources from the site.
Law enforcement officers arrested Ofori on February 16 2026. He had been evading capture since the incident.
The Ghana Police Service conducted the investigation into the robbery. They gathered evidence linking Ofori to the crime.
The prosecutor presented the case before the Bekwai Circuit Court. The court considered the evidence and determined the appropriate sentence.
The sentence reflects the seriousness of the armed robbery charges. It also serves as a deterrent to others who might consider similar criminal acts.
Manso Akwasiso is a community that has experienced issues with illegal mining activities. This sentencing is part of efforts to restore order and security.
