An Accra Circuit Court has handed down a 15-year prison sentence to a 28-year-old man. The sentence includes hard labour.

The court found the driver guilty of robbery and causing harm. These charges stem from an incident where he attacked and robbed a taxi driver.

The convict took the taxi driver's vehicle. He also stole the victim's personal belongings.

During the commission of the crime, the driver inflicted injuries on the taxi driver.

The Judicial Service confirmed the sentencing.
