Two young men: 24-year-old Prince Aidoo and 20-year-old Festus Arther have pleaded for mercy after they were slapped with 10-years imprisonment with hard labour by the Assin Kyekyewere Circuit Court in the Central Region. Reports gathered by EDHUB on X indicated that the two young men, together with an accomplice still at large, on August 19, 2024, attacked a 17-year-old student of Assin Nyankumasi Ahenkuro Senior High School in the Assin South District of the Central Region. The report said the victim was attacked on his way home from school with a knife and was robbed of his mobile phone. Prince and Festus were apprehended by the Nyakumase Ahenkuro police command after the incident was reported by the victim. They were arraigned before the court, which resulted in their sentencing.
