Two men have been sentenced to 20 years in prison each with hard labour by the Ho High Court. This follows their conviction for armed robbery.
The court found them guilty of participating in an armed robbery. The crime took place last year in the Volta Region.
During the robbery, the convicts attacked a local filling station. They stole cash and other valuable items from the station.
The Judicial Service confirmed the sentence was handed down today. This action aims to deter others from committing similar crimes.
The robbery led to significant losses for the filling station owners.
These sentences highlight the court's stance on violent crime. Authorities continue to investigate other related incidents.
