Joseph Mensah, aged 30, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. The Accra Circuit Court handed down the punishment.
Mensah was found guilty of armed robbery. The crime occurred in Madina last year.
He robbed a taxi driver using a gun. The court convicted him after reviewing the evidence.
The sentence includes hard labour. This means he will perform strenuous work as part of his imprisonment.
The Judicial Service confirmed the sentencing details.
This serves as a warning against violent crime. Authorities continue to prosecute robbery cases.
