Story; George Ernest Asare, Kumasi.
Three armed robbers who masterminded the robbery of a catechist at the Konongo Presby Church have been jailed a total of 54 years by the Kumasi High Court.
Kwasi Boateng, alias Moro, Kwabena Major and Kwame Nimara received 18 years each after the court, presided over by Justice K.A. Pobee, found them guilty of conspiracy to rob and robbing at gunpoint.
They broke into the residence of the man of God and robbed him of his money, mobile phones and other items at about 1:30 a.m on July 9, 2006.
According to Mr Emmanuel Lawrence Otoo-Boison, a State Attorney who prosecuted, the three, who were wielding assorted guns, disguised themselves with masks and wigs and forcibly opened the doors of Mr Amoako Amponsah and threatened the family with their guns.
The prosecutor said the convicts took away personal effects contained in two bags, a cash of GH¢40.00 belonging to the catechist and a mobile phone from Mr Amponsah’s son.
Mr Otoo-Boison said Boateng was arrested three days after the crime and admitted to the offence and mentioned Major and Nimara as his accomplices. Major was also arrested on July 15, 2006.
He said Nimara was nabbed at his hideout on May 17, 2007.
