The suspects, Mamudu Issah, 18, Samuel Takyi, 18, and Alhassan Abubakari, 18, were sentenced to prison terms by the Atasemanso Circuit Court in Kumasi.

The court sentenced Mamudu Issah to a 10 year prison term on each of the robbery-related charges and 3 years for causing harm. The sentences will run concurrently.

Samuel Takyi and Alhassan Abubakari were jailed 10 years on each of the robbery-related charges.
