A 26-year-old barber, Richard Amoako, has been sentenced to 20-years imprisonment with hard labour by the Tarkwa circuit court.

The barber conspired with a 30-year-old mason, Paa Kwasi now deceased, to rob a gold buying office at Wassa Nkonya in the Wassa Amenfi East municipality.

Amoako, who is popularly known as Jordan pleaded guilty to conspiracy and robbery.

Mrs Hathia Ama Manu, the presiding judge, sentenced Amoako to 20-years imprisonment in hard labour on each count, but the sentences will run concurrently.
