A man has been sent to prison for 25 years for his part in a robbery that happened in 2022. The Bekwai Circuit Court handed down the sentence.
The convict is Dominic Ofori, who is also known by the name Fanta. He is 30 years old.
The robbery took place at a mining site in Manso Akwasiso. This area is in the Ashanti South Region.
Ofori was arrested by the police on February 16, 2026. He had been wanted for some time.
The court found Ofori guilty of robbery. The sentence includes hard labour, meaning he will have to do difficult work as part of his jail time.
The Ghana Police Service confirmed the arrest and the court's decision.
This sentence aims to deter others from committing similar crimes in mining areas.
Ofori's conviction follows a thorough investigation into the 2022 incident.
