A 36-year-old teacher, John Ankomah Boateng, has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment with hard labour, by the Bekwai Circuit Court, for robbery.
He is said to have stolen over GH¢238,550 from the Bosomefreho Rural Bank Limited, using the GhanaPay app, despite having a balance of only GH¢2.23 in his account.
Boateng, a teacher at Freso SDA Junior High School, pleaded guilty to the charge.
The court, presided over by His Honour Isaac Apietu, handed down the sentence after the prosecution, led by Detective Chief Inspector Eric Twum, presented the case.
