The Asante Bekwai Circuit Court has sentenced two soldiers to ten years in prison each with hard labor for kidnapping and robbing a small-scale miner of GH¢96,500.00.
Air Force Lance Corporal (LAC) Alfred Mensah, 33, and LAC Matthew Amoako, 28, both denied conspiring to rob and kidnap Andrews Asante.
After a full trial, they were found guilty.
Meanwhile, three of their accomplices-identified only as Frimpong and Francis, both soldiers, as well as Francis Acheampong, 41, a driver-are still at large.
