A judge in the Kumasi High Court has given a 15-year jail sentence to a 35-year-old driver. The sentence includes hard labour.
The driver was found guilty of robbing passengers. He committed these crimes on the busy Accra-Kumasi highway.
The court heard evidence that proved the driver committed three separate acts of robbery. These findings led to his conviction.
The Judicial Service confirmed the sentence today. The driver will serve his time after being found guilty by the court.
This case highlights the dangers faced by travellers on major routes. Authorities aim to deter such crimes through strict penalties.
