A 34-year-old trader has been sentenced to 13 years' imprisonment by the Asante Akropong circuit court in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District for committing a robbery at Koraase-Nyamebekyere, near Mankranso.

Ibrahim Halidu, a Fulani, pleaded guilty and was convicted on his own plea.

He had been in custody and assisting police in investigations since 2023.

His accomplice, 39-year-old Belco Hammer, alias Jerego, pleaded not guilty and was remanded into prison custody to come again before the court presided by Gloria Mensah Bonsu, on January 29, this year, for trial.
