The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has secured the conviction of three armed robbers who attacked and robbed commuters on the Jacobu–Anwiankwanta road.
On 27th October 2025, the Bekwai Circuit Court, presided over by His Honour Mr. Appiatu, sentenced Peter Boadi (alias Kwao Ziggy), Daniel Kwaku Owusu, and Eric Kwaku Danso to 20 years imprisonment each for conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery.
The convicts, on 29th April 2024, attacked their victims at Fiankoma near Jacobu with firearms and robbed them of two iPhones and GH₵7,000 cash.
They also compelled one of the victims, a Chinese national, to transfer GH₵30,000 via mobile money to an account belonging to another person.
Following intelligence-led operations, police tracked and arrested the suspects between June and September 2024.
A search conducted at the residence of Peter Boadi at Obuasi Bogobiri led to the recovery of a foreign-made Bruni pistol, a locally manufactured pistol, and ammunition, which were secured as evidence.
The Ghana Police Service commended the investigative team for their professionalism and reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that criminals face the full rigour of the law.
