A Ho Circuit Court in the Volta Region has convicted three persons for their respective roles in an armed robbery attack on Makafui Atsu Kumordzi, the Director of Makafui and Son's Limited, a lotto company located at Ayitikope within the Akatsi South Municipality.
The convicts, Nzete Chukunhru Best, age 28, Mark Billy Agbozo 31, also known as Teacher, and Ernest Sokpi Amevor, 32, popularly called 'Peace Maker' were convicted by the court on the charges of abetment of robbery, conspiracy to commit a crime to wit robbery, and robbery.
Convict Agbozo and Sokpi Amevor are to serve 25 years in hard labour on two counts of offences for each conviction, totaling 50 years each, which are to run concurrently, while Nzete Chukunhru, the first accused was also given a 25-year jail term in hard labor for abetment of robbery.
On Monday, December 23, the court, presided over by Felix Datsomor, a Circuit Court Judge, after a full trial, found the convicts guilty of all the charges leveled against them, thereby, sentencing them to serve as deterrent to others after they prayed to the court for leniency before their respective jail terms were proffered.
